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"
