How do I stop links on pages from being highlighed with color? Doesn't happen with Explorer - just Firefox. It is annoying

When I open web pages using Firefox, all of the outbound links
on the page are have a colored shading around them. Not only
is it annoying, sometime it's the same color as the link text which
makes the link unreadable.
I know this must be a simple adjustment, but I have looked high and
low, googled, etc., and cannot find a satisfactory answer.
Help!

If the background of links is red then that is probably caused by an extension like SEO or SearchStatus that has the option set to highlight noFollow links.
You can check the options of such an extension.
You can click the icon on the Status bar to open the SearchStatus options and un-tick "Highlight NoFollow Links"<br />

    now, while displaying the form generate some random number, or take the current time in millis or whatever. Put that number in a hidden field. Insert that unique number along with the real data into the database, but before you do check if the number already exists. If it does you can be pretty sure this is a resubmit of the same data, so don't allow it. This is one way of many to prevent resubmission of existing data.
    A good way to prevent a refresh from resubmitting altogether is to do a redirect to a result page right after you deal with the POST request. When the user presses refresh then, he/she will refresh the redirect and not the form submit.

  • How can I stop the Drudgereport page from autorefreshing? None of the standard answers work.

    How can I stop the Drudgereport page from autorefreshing? None of the standard answers work.
    ''locking - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/775159 ''

    Drudgereport includes JavaScript code that refreshes the page. You could disable JavaScript for the drudgereport site, that will stop it from refreshing. You can do that by installing the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/4922/ YesScript] extension which allows you to block JavaScript on sites that you specify.

  • How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

    How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

    FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
    But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

    Hi there Dave, aka @dewanio , welcome back
    I saw that you are looking to print off a configuration page.
    The printer itself will print a test page however, the model depends on how it will print. Let me know which printer you have and I will get back to you!

  • How can I stop my home page from opening OVER a page from a link I just clicked on?

    If I click on a link from an email, Firefox always opens 2 pages with my home page (Google) covering up the page I clicked the link to go to. How can I stop it from doing that?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I think since I got the most recent upgrade (3.6.7)

    There's a good chance this is related to a bug that kicks in when you do not have Flash running in any tab and you open a new window to a page that does use Flash: suddenly, the previous window (typically the one from which you launched the link or bookmark) comes back to the front.
    The details are in this recent thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].

  • How to prevent a page from being printed (with condition)?

    Dear forumers,
    How can I control a page in smartform from being printed / displayed?
    The scenario:
    There are multiple pages in the smartform. In the second page, the variable, V_TEXT will be displayed in a text element located in the secondary window (not the main window). If the variable V_TEXT is empty, the second page should NOT be printed / displayed at all.
    How may I achieve this? Please help. Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can control the Window Display in the Page by giving some condition, but there is no option to control the page display based on the condition.

  • How Can I Stop My Music Folder From Being Created...

    I have installed and successfully migrated my iTunes to a NAS...the problem is that everytime I start iTunes it recreates the My Music folder on my local hard drive...as (a) I no longer need or want this folder and (b) I find it both annoying and potentially confusing that ut appears, is there any way to stop it from being recreated time after time...
    Thanks so much...

    Must be missing something in description. My Music folder is from Windows not iTunes. iTunes places its content in iTunes folder inside My Music folder. As for not using the folder I don't think you can. The iTunes library file(itl, xml) are put into iTunes folder inside My Music folder.

  • HOW DO I STOP MY EMAIL INBOX HISTORY BEING CLEARED WITH MY WEB HISTORY?

    My email inbox history ( all emails in my inbox ) are deleted when I clear my mozilla firebox browser history. How do I stop my emails being deleted?
    Cheers
    Paul

    What kind of account? POP or IMAP.
    Sounds like IMAP since that is server based and you just remotely view messages with your computer or other devices. With IMAP when you delete a message it is removed from the server and that is the only place it existed.
    It you want to keep copies of IMAP messages locally on your computer you need to make a folder or folders under Local Folders and move the messages there before deleting them.
    It might be a good idea to learn about the difference between POP and IMAP and decide what works best for you.

  • How do I stop the new Pages from updating the old Pages?  It is automatically updating, but I don't want it to because it's horrible!!!

    I downloaded the new Pages, Keynote, and Numbers, but they're horrible so I deleted them.  Now they keep trying to update my old iWorks.  I don't want them they are horrible!!!  It is automatically updating (I don't have it set to automatic update), so I have it paused, but I don't know how long that will last before they finish the update.  Apple, what are you doing to your loyal customers?  You are making inferior software and forcing it on us.  Why?

    Peter,
    Luckily it had stopped trying to upgrade overnight, but your suggestion definitely helped.  I checked in the System Preferences and, sure enough, I had the auto-upgrade checked for regular programs but not apps.  So, it was doing what I told it, even though it wasn't what I wanted!  I am very thankful that I get to stay with my Pages 4 for now.  I love my Mac because it has always been so intuitive, searching for what I needed was fairly easy.  Unfortunately, some of the new upgrades of late don't fit that bill.  Pages 5 has some work to be done before I will feel comfortable switching.  Thank you for your help!
    Now, any idea why my Calendar has frozen with the message "Moving calendars to server account..." ever since I downloaded Maverick?  I have had to do a force quit for the last two nights to get it to shut off so I can turn off my computer.  The swirling candycane of death accompanies this message.  I would be glad to undo whatever I have done....if I only knew what that was!

  • How do I stop my home page from changing

    Despite setting my Homepage to BT Yahoo, every time I restart Safari it resets the home page to the Apple website.  Also, having customised my toolbar i.e. added the homepage, top sites, new tab etc icons they are also gone on restarting Safari.
    This seemed to happen after I loaded McAfee security, but I have now uninstalled this but the problem persists.
    Any suggestions?

    Back up all data now.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
    Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • How do I stop last web pages from auto loading in Safari?

    I find the feature of Lion that auto-loads previous web pages (and previous open applications) annoying. I want to stop this function. I see the checked box that asks if I want to re-open applications when logging out but I want the default to be to NOT re-open the apps. I equally dislike the auto-opening of previous web pages in Safari. I know that I can clear my history but what I want is for my homepage to open when I run Safari and not the last page viewed. Any solutions?
    Found this for Safari in the forums...
    Go to terminal and type in the following:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES
    If you decide that you rather have the new resume behavior, execute the above commands but change YES to NO.
    You can also do the same for Preview:
    defaults write com.apple.Preview ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES

    iDrifter: The full command is:
    defaults write com.apple.Preview ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES
    I was having the same problem and this is what I did:
    1) Closed Safari
    2) Changed the setting (mentioned) above in System Preferences
    3) Enter the "defaults write ..." command into Terminal.
    Now whever I launch Safari it does not load any pages.
