I would like to change the highlight colour that my system applies after I have used any URL address link in the main display text. Currently it is a similar shade of blue to that of the original URL and I would like to change this to, say, red. Google tells me to edit one specific CSS file for making this change in Chrome, but I don't use Chrome!! A Windows Explorer search shows several hundred CSS files on my XP SP3 desktop running Firefox 34. Cana anyone help me please? Thanks in advance.

You can find default colors in this Options/Preferences window:

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors

Note that disabling "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" will affect background images.
