Choose the "View" tab, and then click the radio button next to "Show hidden files, folders and drives." Install the Google Chrome extension "Change Colors" (see link in Resources) if you want to change the visited link colors on a per-page basis.

Hi sjh2, I apologize for the delayed replies.

When you set link colors on the Options page, they are used as the default or fallback colors when pages do not specify colors. If the page wants blue links, Firefox will honor that instead.

If you never see your color, possibly Firefox has locked out your preferences based on using a High Contrast theme in Windows. Could that be the reason? You could try adjusting the Color setting and see which one works best for you:

• Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
• Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences
• Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences
• Any system: type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it

In the search box at the top of the page, type color and Firefox should filter the page down so you can easily find the "Colors" button. Go ahead and click that.

Try changing this setting:

"Override the colors specified by the page with your selections above"

Below that, it usually says

"Only with High Contrast themes"

Click that and change the setting to

"Never"

then click OK to finish the change. Now Firefox should apply website rules and use your colors as a fallback.

Does that help at all?

If that doesn't help or makes things worse, you could try changing the setting again, this time to

"Always"

then click OK to finish the change.

Any improvement?

Here's a screenshot of that part of the Colors dialog as it appears on Windows 10:

The "Always" setting is not ideal; you often want to let pages use their own colors and only override very specific ones. There might be a good add-on to fine-tune things but I haven't tried any myself.
