for example, when i go to youtube, the youtube logo and that grey bar on the left is gone and replaced with whatever color is in the 'background' color box [in the options menu]. is there any way to choose a different color for links without changing a websites background colors? i'm sure that i solved this before, without downloading anything or using code [i'm super dumb with that]

You can override the link colors with CSS rules in the userContent.css file in the chrome folder in the Firefox Profile Folder via the a:link and a:visited selectors.


a:link { color: blue !important; }
a:visited { color: purple !important; }
