firefox link color

[hello]

does anyone know how to restore the default color scheme for links in
firefox?
By the way, i would like to make both visit and unvisit link to be same
color (blue), but it seems that I cannot choose the link color of default
unvisited links (the blue one, but the available color is either darker or
lighter)..... what can i do?
Thanks!

Hi "hello",
Don't know how to set colors to the factory default and not touch anything else,
but since you also stated you wanted to set both to a specific color (blue):
Tools, Options, Content, Colors (click on the color to change)
and since you want to forceably override sites that set colors
(uncheck) Allow pages to choose their own colors

or if you want a different shade for browser.anchor.color and browser.visited.color
then type about:config
onto the location bar, and change them.

thx a lot first.
Actually i know how to change to "blue" color, but the "blue" colors
available for me to choose from are not same as the "blue" used in default
setting of "unvisited links". I have tried to set both of them to "blue"
available, but it seems not very beautiful, that's why I want to know how to
restore to default....
thanks a lot.

If you don't get any better ideas, one way is to create a new profile.
That way all your settings will be set to default. You can then transfer
bookmarks and passwords from your old profile (assuming you don't delete
it while creating the new profile).

Well about:config does tell you what was user set and
what was default, and you are not limited to color choices
within tools, options, general, color for that matter.

So I guess you want to change your
browser.visited_color to #0000EE to match the
default blue color of browser.anchor_color

Type about:config on to the location bar
search: _color (missed the underscore before)
To change a choice right-click and change the value.

Help with additional hex color codes #333399 is a dark blue, #666688 is blue
if you don't like the color choices supplied in Firefox or those, see
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/color.htm#detector
or just install the ColorZilla extension.

But you keep saying you want the defaults and that you don't like the
choices, which makes it hard to answer. As included above you can
have any color you want. Over time possibly defaults have changed
or your monitor has changed. Laptops are notorious for not showing
colors properly. For instance the colors that Google forces on web
search for links and visited links are practically indistinguishable on my laptop.

BTW, my about:config list is generally sorted on the "Status" column so
that my user set items appear together.
