Hello! Is there a way to create a shortcut that toggles on/off the checkbox "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" located in Tools/Options/Content/Colors? I have to change this setting many times and need to speed it up.

I have looked for add-ons that could automate this configuration change, but to no avail. Only web page actions can be recorded in a macro, but no configuration changes.
A shortcut to get to the appropriate dialog box would help as well. I could manually tick/untick the box while saving all the several steps needed to get there. But I have not found it anywhere.
Thank you very much for any help you can provide me.
Best regards,
Alex

Hi, I want to drop a note to say thank you, cor-el. Your answer was better and faster than I could have expected. It not only solved my problem, but also opened new possibilities for more quick configurations.
I am now obliged to follow your example and join this wonderful community of volunteers that help others to enjoy this fantastic browser.
Best Regards!
Alex

    I have FF and win7. Fonts turn to weird characters at more then 75% zoom when the checkbox "allow webpages to choose their own fonts" in the contents option > advanced is checked, when forced to calibri this behaviour doesnt occur
    An aexample of that is the product title on the product of this website:
    https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=2424553
    While switching to double check this I just saw that this also happens in this very window in wich i am typing my question now. If i copy and paste this text to for example notepad or anything else, it shows up like normal text.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == i installed firefox on win 7

    This issue can be caused by the bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or another (bitmap) font that can't be displayed by Firefox in that font size.
    Firefox can't display that font in the specified size and displays gibberish instead.
    You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
    Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or find a True type version of that font that doesn't have the problem.

    Need a shortcut to "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above option preference" I know where it is and how to use it but I have to go through 7 mouse clicks to change it, then a few minutes later change it back. I also know the sequnce is alt t, alt o, alt c, alt a, then ok, ok. Got to be a way to make a one key short cut for this. I use a black background to reduce eye strain, but about 10% of the webpage I go to can't be send with black so I have to go into tools and hit 6 or 7 things to chnage it then after through with webpage have to do it all over at Not allow webpages to have own color. Very very cumbersome.

  • When "allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" is un-checked in the options menu, I am unable to see images on websites. How do I maintain having the box un-checked and still view images?

    I recently decided to switch the colors around in Firefox. I work in a pretty dark environment and having dark colored text on white or bright backgrounds is rather difficult on my eyes in the dark.
    I switched the background to a dark gray, the text to a light gray and both visited and unvisited links to a light blue. Along with these changes, I unchecked the "allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" box.
    After unchecking the box, I am no longer able to view images on many websites. The images all turn gray - as if Firefox has changed their image into part of the background. When I check the box, I am able to see images fine, however, the websites usually revert back to their bright backgrounds with dark text.
    Any help and assistance with this is greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!

  • Some sites don't have symbols unless "allow pages to choose their own fonts" is checked

    With option "allow pages to choose their own fonts..." deselected, some symbols are improperly displayed.
    I think I know what's happening. With the option selected, FF displays some symbol characters with the wrong font.
    But, this doesn't make sense, since these symbols are not in any language font. None of them will produce the correct symbols if selected as the personal preferred font. So, it's incorrect to render these symbols in any of the fonts selected as my personal preference, regardless of status of this option.
    So, FF should use the a symbol font for these symbols regardless of this preference setting.

    You can accomplish what you want with a user style. Here are step-by-step directions. If you need any more help, just ask.
    # Leave "Allow pages to choose their own fonts" enabled.
    # Install Stylish.
    #* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
    # After Stylish is installed, open the Add-ons Manager, User Styles category.
    # Click the Write New Style button at the top.
    # In the style editor window, paste either of the following. Give the style a name and then click the Save button.
    <u>'''Variant #1'''</u><br>
    This is the easiest and safest thing to do. It applies your default sans-serif font to all sites, except those you specify. To specify exceptions, replace the placeholders with actual domain names. To add new exceptions, add another '''|''' symbol followed by the domain name.
    <pre><nowiki>@-moz-document regexp("https?://(?!(example-of-an-exception.com|www.placeholder.site-exception.net)).*") {
    * { font-family: sans-serif !important; }
    }</nowiki></pre>
    <u>'''Variant #2'''</u><br>
    This requires a bit of work on your part. You must know the font that's being used to display the symbols in question. Right-click a symbol and choose Inspect Element. In the Inspector pane, click the Fonts tab. You should see the font family names listed there, labeled with "remote". The actual font family name is below, under "Used as:".<br>
    You're going to want to specify your ideal font first, then the site's fonts after that. If certain characters can't be rendered with the font you want, then Firefox should fall back to the second font in the list, or the third, and so on. If none of the specified fonts contain the required characters, then Firefox will display the Unicode codepoints (rectangles with numbers in them).
    <pre><nowiki>@-moz-document url-prefix("http://"), url-prefix("https://") {
    * { font-family: Arial, "Segoe UI Symbol", FontAwesome, PlaceholderFontOne, "Placeholder Font Two", sans-serif !important; }
    }</nowiki></pre>

    hello bygabyga, i think this will be a too specific use-case to be added as a general feature into the browser. you can make use of an extension though to get this kind of functionality: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/toggledocumentcolors-198916

  • Visited links in Google are not changing color. In Options Colors visited links are purple. Also, the "Allow pages to choose their own colors..." is checked

    I have been using Firefox for many years. In the past year the Google page has stopped showing visited links in another color. Options are normal. Links should change to purple when visited.
    This has been happening for a long time now. There have been several Firefox updates since then. Is it a problem with my system?

    Does this happen with other visited links as well?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • I want to override webpage fonts but tools/options/fonts and colors/advanced/[]Allow pages to choose their own fonts doesn't work (unchecking it)

    tools/options/fonts and colors/colors does work to some extent - it does not overide link colors, but I don't really care about that. ^+ and ^- (ie control plus/minus) do work to change size to some extent - everything bigger/smaller, but of course not everything size=20, eg. I know there must be a way to do this sort of thing because years ago I could do it in Netscape.

  • Is there a way to create a playlist that will not play the songs when shuffle is selected?

    I created a playlist of children's songs to play in my kindergarten classroom.  I placed these songs in a specific playlist so I could easilly access them when needed.  Problem is, when I'm working out, I don't want these songs to pop up in my "shuffle" mix.  How do I designate this playlist to only contribute songs when selected?

    You can also set the "Skip when shuffling" property of the children's songs to Yes. Select the songs, Get. Info., look on the Options tab.

  • I have Windows 7 with classic desktop display settings. My browser window is displaying in the system scheme, even though I have "Use system colors" unchecked and "Allow pages to choose their own colors..." checked.

    ''Duplicate post, continue here - [/questions/777317]''
    This is interfering with my browsing, as some text, images and links are obscured by the solid background. I could, of course, use the modern "Aero" theme but it would be much better to be able to use the display settings that I prefer.

    That's a painful example. I don't have access to Windows 8/8.1 myself, but I suspect this is by design, as I have seen other screenshots from users using high contrast dark themes that did not have background colors and images.
    Firefox 32 contains a change from this bug: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042625 Bug 1042625 - Page should be drawn in accordance with the high contrast themes]. The testing (and a comment in the patch) refers to solving a problem on Windows 7, but apparently Windows 8 also was affected.
    I don't know whether there is a workaround to tweak what is and isn't displayed in the page with a high contrast theme.

  • How mak an iMacro to toggle Tools Options Content Colors Allow Pages Own Colors

    Every day in Firefox I go back and forth repeatedly, enabling my own System Colors, then going back to "Allow pages to choose their own colors".
    I've tried to create an iMacro to do this, but apparently I haven't leaned iMacros correctly, because none of the several times I've tried it have worked.
    Can someone write the macro for me, or tell me what the steps of the iMacro should be?
    The two setting I want to toggle are:
    Tools > Options > Content* > Colors > Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above
    and
    Tools > Options > Content* > Colors > [uncheck] Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above
    * I always leave Content selected in the Tools > Options window, specifically so I can do the above series without having to mouse-click on Content
    Thanks!

  • Firefox option "Allow Website to choose their own font/color" fails in High Contrast

    On Windows 8.1 and Firefox 32, the option to Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" Fails completely if Windows 8 is using a High Contrast Theme.
    Regardless of the Windows Theme, Firefox should allow pages to use their designed colors otherwise problems will exist on a number of sites. Including the Mozilla.org page.
    With the Allow Pages... turned on, it should look like this:
    http://yosemitelandscapes.com/temp/correct.jpg
    Instead the Windows High Contrast is forced upon the web site:
    http://yosemitelandscapes.com/temp/incorrect.jpg
    For reference Chrome does this correctly which has forced me to switch to the Chrome Browser until a fix is issued for this problem.
    NOTE: This is not the same problem people reported where High Contrast did not function in Firefox 29. But I think it may be related to the fix.
    I have tried "reverse logic" and turned these options on and off to see if the behavior changed. Pages refreshed and even closed and reloaded. I can find no way to work in High Contrast Themes and allow pages to show up normally in Firefox 32.
    I much prefer the security and design of Firefox. Help us please!!!

  • Is there a way to create a button that links to a website?

    Is there a way to create a button that links to a website?
    I was reading up that it's possible to this with menus, and tracks but can you do it with a button and how?
    I am hoping to create a button that people viewing my discs on a computer can click on the link and their web browser will pop up and take them to a website.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.
    -Fraky

    dvd@ccess questions are being asked once a week on this forum, so I'll repeat why it's useless:
    - Mac users have to enable the feature in the preferences of DVD Player in order to for the links to work.
    - PC users have to install a small application on their PC, and they have to reboot the PC in order for the links to work.
    - On top of this, it's still unreliable, and may not work on some computers.
    It's a dog: Don't use it.
