How can I enable high contrast themes in Firefox WITHOUT high contrast on the Windows Desktop?

Firefox 4.0 broke one of the best accessability addons that existed, AnyColor. Now I'm stuck with the closest I can get to it, a non-customizable theme which gets some things right but other things wrong.
Naturally, I'd like to make my browsing as comfortable as possible to my low-vision eyes. I thought that the reported "high contrast" Firefox theme might help. Unfortunately, it seems that the only way to turn this on is to turn on high contrast themes in Windows-- and I have adjusted my Desktop so that I don't need them. Unfortunately that would seem to be the only way to get it in Firefox.
Is there a secret way to force high contrast themes? The best solution for low-vision users, of course, would be to officially support AnyColor, or an addon like it.
As an interim solution I'm using Purple Fox, which at least has the feature of being light text on a black background, and has visible tab close boxes; but it has fuzzy edges and twiddly graphics all over the place. It's not bad, it's just not really good. But having tried all of the themes with the word "dark" or "black" in the descriptions, it may be the closest to a working LV theme.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give.

Thanks for the reply. To clarify, by "Firefox chrome" I am referring to Firefox's GUI, such as the tab bar, scrollable context menus and the contents of the 'about:' pages. As a point of interest, Chromium on Ubuntu recently started supporting touch-scrolling for web pages and throughout it's interface.
dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled sends touch events to the webpage, which is less important to me right now. In fact, others have reported that in situations where Firefox has touch-scrolling, enabling that option breaks the touch-scrolling for webpages that listen for the touch events (hence the default being 'disabled').
I'd really like to know if native touch-scrolling is possible under Linux as my current setup is functional but not ideal.

  • How can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?

    how can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?  my screen is cracked and i am waiting on a replacement phone.  as far as i can tell in order to access the phone storage through my computer, i have to use the touchscreen to enable it so that the computer will see it as a camera.  I can't do that as the top half of the touschscreen is unresponsive.  any suggestions?  teaches me to use the backup services offered in the future, but i still need a short term solution for this time.

        I'm sorry to hear your screen is cracked spence425. I know its difficult to use the phone while its damaged. I'm happy you are receiving a replacement device. Have you saved any of your pictures and other data to the cloud? Here is a link about the cloud http://vz.to/1mF0GIx . Unfortunately, you will be unable to remove any data from the phone if the screen is unresponsive but if you are looking to transfer data to your new phone, it would have needed to be saved via the cloud first. Keep us posted.

  • How can I enable blocked flash plugin on firefox?

    A couple of days ago, my computer (mac OS X 10.4.11 PPC) suddenly seemed to stop recognizing that I had flash installed and wouldn't play anything requiring flash - instead a message came telling me to install it.
    I uninstalled flash and the installed the latest version for my computer from the adobe website (which is 10.1.102.64).
    Computer still thinks flash isn't installed and when I checked plugins I discovered firefox has blocked it telling me the version of flash I want to use is too old (even though the version I've downloaded is the latest I can use with my computer).
    How can I enable the plugin on firefox so I can use flash? The 'enable' button on the plugin has been greyed out so I can't press it.
    Please help - I'm rubbish with computers so please give any advice in very simple language! ( i have firefox 3.0.4)

    hello this should not have happened - mozilla recently uses the blocklist feature to notify users about the outdated flash plugin but not block it.
    you'd have to trigger a manual update of the blocklist and hope that this time the correct version is retrieved.
    go to tools > web-developers > error console & copy the following line into the code field & hit evaluate:
    ''Components.classes['@mozilla.org/extensions/blocklist;1'].getService(Components.interfaces.nsITimerCallback).notify(null);''
    sorry for the computer gibberish. afterwards restart the browser & see if you can enable the plugin in the addons manager again.

  • How can I automatically re-size an imported PDF when I re-size the window?

    I and using RoboHelp HTML 8 and Acrobat Pro 9.  Once I "reduce file size," I can import PDFs with no problem and they look fine when I view them.  But if I re-size the browser window, the images of the PDFs stay the same size, getting more or less blank space around them.  I really need the images to grow and shrink with the window.  Is there any way to accomplish this?
    Mary Lee

    I think the keyword here is "images," and you have answered that.  In fact, that's exactly what I expected.  My problem is that I actually have what I believe are conflicting needs/wants from higher up the chain here.  I have been asked to produce a document that looks exactly like the original paper version but will work like clicking the "one page at a time" tool in Acrobat when you change the size of the window.
    As you can see (and no doubt, expect) in my images, importing a PDF results in a page image which has a constant size in a browser.  Unfortunately, importing or linking a Word document results in changed appearance, which is unacceptable to others here.  If you have any suggestions for resolving my dilemma, I would be delighted.

  • How can I enable Touch ID for Apple Pay without turning Passcode on?

    I have an iPhone 6 w/ iOS 8.1.
    I strongly dislike having to unlock my phone when I want to use it. Until I purchased the iPhone 6, I have never enabled a passcode. My phone is never out of my immediate control and when I want to access my phone, I want to access it immediately, not put in a passcode or wait for it to recognize my finger print.
    There are separate settings for "Turn Passcode On/OFF" and for enabling the use of Touch ID for Unlock/Apple Pay/iTunes. However, if you turn off passcode, All three of the Touch ID Options are immediately disabled. Unlock makes sense, as your phone would no longer be "locked". However disabling Apple Pay and especially iTunes/App Store (since those purchases require you enter your Apple ID Password, NOT the passcode!) does not make sense.
    The inconvenience of the extra unlock step every time I want to use my phone to do anything almost certainly will negate any convenience of using my phone to make purchases.
    Am I missing a configuration? If not there should be a way to use Touch ID without having an unlock passcode!

    NO in order to use the touch id, you need to enable a 4 digit passcode.
    No way around that.
    Imagine when you lose your phone and the person who has it can access anything on your phone because it's an extra step to have to use the touch id or enter the 4 digit passcode to lock/unlock your phone.

  • How can I enable push notifications once my multi-folio app is on the app store?

    Do I need to re-submit binary/app?

    Thanks Himanshu.
    Do I need to create new development/distribution certs with Apple Push Notification Service SSL (Sandbox) ticked?
    Or just enable the Push notifications in App ID's and then create certificates for Development SSL and Production SSL, then create the CSR.
    Do I then need to download the new mobileprovisioning files?
    Hope this makes sense.. Just want to make sure I get it right this time around
    Thanks.

  • How can we open a new instance of Firefox without URL bar and any other control (except PREV, NEXT and RELOAD)?

    Dear Volunteers,
    I am looking for a solution for Firefox Win App and Mobile Apps where on click of a button from the website page, we should be able to launch a new instance of firefox instance (like a popup box) with following features:
    a. It SHOULD NOT have any URL bar to display.
    b. It SHOULD NOT show any plug-ins or any other functionality except Previous, Next and Reload.
    c. This instance of firefox should always be on-top of all other application.
    Please advise, how firefox can be customized to offer in all platforms by default.
    With lot of hope from this volunteer community,
    Rajiv

    You would need your visitors to install some kind of add-on, since web pages do not have permission to block the display of the page address and users do not need to allow a new window to be modal and block other Firefox windows, much less other OS windows.
    Over the years, people have developed extensions for kiosk-style displays. You could investigate those for ideas.

  • I am going to update my PC to windows 7 (from XP), how can i backup my current version of firefox and use it on the updated OS?

    since support for XP is done and continued use puts my PC at risk, I am going to install Windows 7. I want to know how i can do a full back up of my current version of Firefox and then run it on the updated OS; i have lots of add-ons that I don't want to lose and then have to go through the whole process of reinstalling and customizing.
    (currently running Firefox v28.0)

    It would be best to be cautious with copying a full profile folder from Windows XP to Windows 7 as the file structure is completely different.
