Well, that's how it looks now.  I wanted to change the color of the visited links, but that changes text and background colors too, which makes many web sites somewhere between "really messed up" and "unreadable".  I would like to change the link colors _only_ and leave the other colors unset.  I don't see a way to do that in "Custom". Where are the "system settings" made?  Or, is there a way to do what I want in about:config?  Thanks.


about:config has the options browser.visited_color and browser.visited_color.dark that control this. You could also define a custom style for visited links in a userContent.css file.

I assume the former changes the default colors of the browser and can be overridden by websites using the CSS, so if it does not achieve what you want try the latter as it should have higher priority.
