how to change color of visited sites

Post by riowong »

When search in Google and click links, those visited site links turn from blue to to purple. I want to change the purple to be grey for more easy identification of those visited sites, since fast distinguish between blue and purple is not efficient. Can I do this from FF, or is there any extension doing this? Thx.

So now I found that it also affect all web pages from other sites. I just want to change the visited links color from Google like search engines. Any idea to limit to this?

I have problems seeing the default color used so I have change them. Here is what I have in my <b>userContent.css</b>

Code: Select all

/* strikethrough on visited links */
a:visited { color: #00CC00 !important;text-decoration: line-through !important; }

This change the visited color to light green and strike thru.
