Underlined Links New in 119.0

corrigme — Tue, 24 Oct 2023 22:14:14 GMT

My links are UNDERLINED in this new 119.0 64K. No way to turn that off. Don't like that. Please fix.

Agreed, the arrogance of this update regarding link underline is beyond belief

If this enforced underlined links are not removed immediately I quit!
Not even possible to opt out
Unbelievable...

Why? The first thing I do when setting up Firefox is to turn off the underline to hyperlinks. If I can't do that I might as well move to another browser.

I agree, this was either oversite or a bad decision.

Wake up Moz: fix the hiperlink underline switch ASAP.

I submitted https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1861794 a few days ago, no response yet. In fairness, it's a cosmetic issue and arguably not critical, but I agree it's a nuisance - as I stated in that report, it creates unnecessary visual noise. I completely understand some users may wish to have links underlined but the option to choose was always there so why not leave it in? Either it was removed deliberately for some unknown reason or it's an oversight.

Edit: If you want to help, you can vote on the issue to raise awareness.

FYI, my report was closed as 'won't fix'. So I've had to work around it via userContent.css. A bit a of a nuisance to do this for something that was previously a feature, but c'est la vie.

The

Mozilla arrogance continues......how does one "work around it via userContent.css". Saw another post about using an extension called Stylus, with absolutely no explanation how to do it.

The underlined links that are already highlighted is poor GUI design. It's a browser, all the links are links. If you don't understand this, you have no business being on the internet.

Can't you at least make this a menu option, for most people who will hate it.
