Firefox and CSS

[Mike Rochip]

Hello-

 

I hope it's OK to start a new thread similar to "firefox" as my previous lengthy posts went nowhere (my fault).

 

Re: "visited links not changing color" I have used an extension called EditCSS that allows temporarily modifying a stylesheet which corrects the link issue. However, it only works as long as the EditCSS window is kept open, which takes up about 20% of the screen. This is the change that works:

 

a:link { color: #000099; text-decoration: underline}

a:visited { color: #000099; text-decoration: underline}

a:hover { color: #000099; text-decoration: none}

 

TO:

 

a:link { color: #000099; text-decoration: underline}

a:visited { color: #FF4900; text-decoration: underline}

a:hover { color: #000099; text-decoration: none}

 

Is there a way to make this change permanent without using EditCSS or if not to hide the EditCSS window (it's in the sidebar)? If I uncheck EditCSS in the View, Sidebar menu the changes are lost.

 

Thanks in advance.

SUCCESS!!

 

Thanks to an excellent Firefox user's guide and tips for tweaking (including CSS) by Karoush Ghazi here:

 

tweakguides.com

 

I found the simple solution. After creating a userContent.css folder per his instructions, paste or type in the following:

 

a:visited {

color: red ! important;

 

}

 

This has worked for all sites so far except AltaVista (including CCleaner.com).
