Hello,

Could someone tell me how to change the color of visited links in Firefox 153? This option seems to have disappeared.

Thanks for your answers.

    Hello,

    I’m not entitled to 153 but to 152.0.6 (Sequoia).

    Firefox Settings then there to manage colors.

    Doesn’t withstand, of course, the clearing of history.

    Other options, at least under Windows, are dedicated extensions, color code in about:config, customized UserContent.css file.

    See here and the first link which should remain up-to-date in principle.

      Unfortunately it doesn't work. I'm talking about the links suggested by search engines and not the links that are on a site. I believe this option has been removed, and if that's the case it's a pity because it was very useful, for me and perhaps for many others.

        Is indeed specific to Google search.

        You can still try your luck with it, but it doesn’t work for me

        This extension also doesn’t work for me after trying several search engines, same result.

    Hello,

    Firefox updates have not, to date, affected on Windows the modification of about:config nor userChrome.css; even if that were the case, you could make a copy of the latest one somewhere and resurrect it in a few seconds.

    Here we are on Mac, not Windows, where the procedure must therefore be adapted (profile location, text editor).

    I’m far from being a Mac whiz and that doesn’t prove anything, but I haven’t found any way to get it to work there (recall that this is about coloring a result returned by a Google search, not a visited link on a site).

      Let's hope the developers bring back this function that was very useful.

        Pistouri removed the tutorial he had written yesterday, extrapolated modifications from userChrome.css to userContent.css, perhaps because he treated them as universal while the Mac-specific question is probably more specific.

        The first ones work perfectly, I use them every day to reduce the space of bookmarks, he included a screenshot to support it, whose content we don’t really know if it’s the path of a particular site or a Google search in red.

        Where on the Mozilla side the bug is in the fruit, at least for me, is the built-in modification allowing visited links (not Google search ones) to be red.

        Tested on Windows on a local Web site, the modification is not effective; online and once connected online the result is surprising
         

        If now, whether I keep this modification or not and I add a userContent.css file containing it, nothing happens and everything behaves as if it didn’t exist, even though it is described successfully not for Firefox but for Thunderbird where it obviously does not involve search but only followed links.

        On the first point, the ball is in Mozilla’s court; on the second, don’t count on it, they disapprove CSS modifications or prefs.js that can lead to the same result and therefore, unless a clever person finds the flaw...
