Link colors

[Odin2]

I have my link colors set [Tools|Settings] to blue for unvisited and green for visited, Yet some links are colored red. Why?

It seems this option in Firefox always didn't work correctly. Try this style

Code: Select all

/* userContent.css Firefox */
/* Highlighting visited and unvisited links */
:any-link:visited,
:any-link:not(#thumbnail).yt-simple-endpoint:visited * {
    color: #00b294 !important; /* #00b294 - green; #ff4a4a - pale red; #ff00ae - magenta; */
}
/* Underlining links under the cursor */
:any-link:hover,
:any-link:not(#thumbnail).yt-simple-endpoint:hover * {
    text-decoration: underline !important;
}

Remember to set the toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets = true (in about:config)
Or you can use this extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... k-enabler/

Thanks, lenny2. Actually, I'd forgotten that I do have the Visited Link Enabler add-on active--but I don't know how that changes link colors that I would otherwise see. Your answer in any case does not really address my question, which is why some links appear red.

Maybe a CSP problem.

Content Security Policy (CSP)

Maybe the site has its own link styles using the !important property.

There is a test page in the following thread.
