Trying to modify ui.textSelectBackgroundAttention in Firefox 157.0.1
When searching inside a webpage the color of the item found hardly distinguishable with my theme. I tried to modify the ui.textSelectBackgroundAttention parameter of config. No results. The color stays the same old one.

In general you shouldn't be putting any code you don't understand anywhere just based on what AI chatbots tell you, esp. if you don't verify it separately. Not that it can be just wrong, it can be even dangerous if you don't validate the actual meaning or functionality in other sources.

Hi
I do not recommend changing about:config prefs and suggest that you set that one back to the default.
Are you able to share a screenshot of the issue that you are having with Firefox?
Paul, Thank you for your prompt response.
I understand, that changing Firefox preferencies might be dangerous and even brake some internal structures. Nevertheless, the flexibility and the ability to customize the product to one's own taste was always the strong point of Mozilla's products. I work with them from 1995, starting with the Netscape. And if I wanted to work within the limits set for me, I would choose MS or some lousy Samsung creatures.
I attach here an example. If my eyes aren't deceiving me, the selected ("found") color is green. Thank you again for your response,
Vladimir
Such pref doesn't exist. (Check spelling.)

jbr, You are absolutely right. I should look at ui.textSelectAttentionBackground parameter. I trusted Gemini. The lesson -- never trust Google.
Thanks a lot,
Vladimir
