browser.visited_color not working

Hi forum,
I'd like to change the color of visited links to something other than the standard purple color (#551A8B).
However, if I change the browser.visited_color hex value accordingly (for example to #FF5200), the visited links are still purple everywhere.
What am I doing wrong?

Did you set the browser to Always Override the colors specified by the page with your own selections?
BTW, You might find that the "Always" setting changes more than merely the visited link color - it affects colors for other things as well. If you want to change just the color of visited links, it could probably be done via some tweak in userChrome.css (or using Stylish). Or by using any of several extensions designed to alter the appearance of web pages.

Correcting myself: I believe this should be userContent.css.

coffeebreak is correct it's "userContent.css" and resides in the "Chrome" folder in your profile directory.
PM AFAIK does not create this folder on install anymore. Look in the profile, if there is not a Chrome folder create one. In that folder create a text file named "userContent.css".
In the userContent.css file paste this
Code: Select all
/* Change Visited Links to Red */
a:visited {
color: #ff0000 ! important;
}
a:link {
color: #ff0000 ! important:
}
A:visited { color: #ff0000 ! important }
This will change visited link to Red. If you wish another color check here to find the Hex number of the color you want.
