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.

There are other things that need your attention.
Your system details list shows that you have two Flash plugins.
# Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700
# Shockwave Flash 11.6 r602
You should remove the older Flash 11.6 r602.

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!You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.

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.

The above addon will solve your problem.
Shortcut to toggle user color/page color :- Ctr+Shift+C -
could you please put a fast shortcut in the toolbar to un/check "Allow pages to choose their own colors,..." from Options> Content> Colors>
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

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,
AlexHi, 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!

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. -
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.
Some extensions that you can look at:
* Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965
* NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592 -
When ever I select this option firefox only shows characters that appear when you do not have foreign fonts installed, except for English. The characters are squares with numbers in them at the bottom of the character.
Try to set the Boolean pref <b>gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.

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!!!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.

How to get websites to use their own colors
My firefox uses System Colors, for instance google has a black background.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a, possible inverted, High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

In my iPhone the images and videos are not changing into landscape mode
In my iPhone the images and the videos are not changing into landscape mode. And it is switching off automatically
Hi vijenderreddy,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some steps to try if your iPhone is unexpectedly powering off:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
For the issue of images not changing orientation, see this article:
