zebra effect in history

[bob c]

went to ff 63 (did not notice this in any earlier version), but is there a way to get rid of the zebra effect in "show all history". IMO-the most annoying and hard on the eyes page in ff. any way to make it solid color.

Hi,
Perhaps it would be better illustrated if you posted a screen shot of the problem?
Bit hard to imagine this error.

Moving this to Firefox Support...

sorry that is so big

No Probs.
If you want a free Photo Resizer, go here & get v3.8 from Faststone...

Heaps of features & easy to use.
Just reduce them to around 600 x 500 or so.

Firefox Safe Mode should show the page correctly.

&...I think that if you try the default theme, the page will look O.K.
Maybe try another one?

So it is 63 that is doing this & not an extension?
(I find it quite ugly.)

no extension can do this, this is userchrome.css made. guess who!?

You are right. Been looking at this all day. I have found this, (the culprit) in my user chrome--

/* change color of all text in menus and toolbars */
menubar > menu,
toolbar, toolbar > .toolbarbutton-text,
.toolbarbutton-text,
#nav-bar > .toolbarbutton-1,
.toolbarbutton-menubutton-button > .toolbarbutton-text,
.toolbarbutton-1 > .toolbarbutton-text,
toolbarbutton.bookmark-item, #bookmarks-toolbox,
menubutton, menulist, menu, menuitem, toolbar, tree, tooltip, sidebarheader,
#CustomizeToolbarWindow, #main-box, palette-box, #wrapper-tabextensions-tablist-button, wrapper-tabextensions-labelTabSession-button {
color: black !important;
background-color: lightblue !important;
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: 700;
font-family: arial !important;
}

I have had this in my user chrome since using FF ESR & before, can't even remember the version number back then. and no problem--and it help FF look like I wanted-history also looked normal

But I have found with FF 63-(did not do this with FF 62), or others, this line--"#wrapper-tabextensions-tablist-button, wrapper-tabextensions-labelTabSession-button" 10th line down--causes the zebra effect.
If I remove the line history looks normal, but the rest of FF reverts back to a default color. Trying to find out why, because as I said, on my machine, before FF version 63, this line did not do this, not in any of the ESR versions, or before.

Found out just now, been called out of town for a week, won't be able to respond until I get back. Did not want anyone thinking that I was not going to.

Usually zebra striping involves rules that treat odd and even lines differently. For example, this "color bar" style for the Add-ons page for userContent.css (the odd elements have their default color):

Code: Select all

@-moz-document url("about:addons") {
  #addon-list richlistitem[active="true"]:nth-child(even) {
    background-color: #e0f0ff !important;
  }
  #addon-list richlistitem[active="false"]:nth-child(even) {
    background-color: #f4f4f4 !important;
  }
}

Since the Library uses a tree, look for rules involving tree, treechildren, -moz-tree-row and so on.
