No change in color of visited links in Firefox (Mint 20.2)

Post by ablebaker »

I've recently upgraded from Mint 19.3 to Mint 20.2 (Cinnamon). When I used Firefox in Mint 19.3, the color of visited web links shown in Startpage's search listings would change. Now, with Mint 20.2, the colors don't change. I should mention that I used Pjor's excellent Easy Linux Tips Project https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com to tweak the new installation of 20.2, so perhaps something there disabled the color change

What are the settings needed to have Firefox display a changed color of links visited?

Thanks in advance.

Also note the "Override the colors specified by the page with your selections above" option.

Thank you for the helpful reply. Using those settings does change the color of visited links, but it also changes the color of web pages, so there's something else at work that wasn't present under Mint 19.3. I'm tempted to reset Firefox to see if previously visited sites are properly identified when using Firefox's default settings.
