Well, that's how it looks now. I wanted to change the color of the
visited links, but that changes text and background colors too, which
makes many web sites somewhere between "really messed up" and
"unreadable". I would like to change the link colors _only_ and leave
the other colors unset. I don't see a way to do that in "Custom". Where
are the "system settings" made? Or, is there a way to do what I want in
about:config? Thanks.
about:config has the options browser.visited_color and
browser.visited_color.dark that control this. You could also define a
custom style for visited links in a userContent.css file.
I assume the former changes the default colors of the browser and can be
overridden by websites using the CSS, so if it does not achieve what you
want try the latter as it should have higher priority.
