I am trying to move from chrome to firefox and am having trouble finding an extension that does what a google chrome extension did: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/no-link-underline/knfpmclhohfhanmiilcahnlcndejlldk

Help!

The arrogance of this update regarding link underline is beyond belief

Dismayed, I am uncertain of your comment, shall I withdraw?

I'm not sure how my reply to a post about the link underline feature ended up here, but disregard it.

Previously there was an option to turn off link underlines and that option has been removed for some  unknown reason, I'm thinking some engineer was bored. I'm new here too and am sure I goofed replying, I hope I can continue with Firefox but am looking at rolling back or going to the ESR version or (gasp!) switching to Edge. Have a good day sir.

I'm really annoyed that the option to globally turn off underlining of hyperlinks in Firefox has suddenly disappeared. Easily eliminating underlined hyperlinks is the thing that drew me to Firefox in the first place. I have some custom-written HTML pages that I set to load when I start Firefox. I circumvented the underlining on those pages by adding this code to the top of each page:

<style>
a {
text-decoration: none;
}

But I've got one page that constantly updates when I export its bookmarks using the "Manage Bookmarks" feature. It's a page I often use, and the underlining is really annoying.

Please restore the option to globally remove hyperlink underlining. It was a really good feature that distinguished Firefox. And, in any event, whether hyperlinks should appear with underlining is one of those things that a user should be able to decide, not have a programmer dictate.

A solution for those who want it would be to use a custom styling extension, like Stylus.

Then you can just use the following CSS to remove all link underlines on all websites:

a {
  text-decoration: none; !important;
}

Thank you Fraetor, I installed the extension, and I am sure it is easy, but going to have to figure it out.

For 300 years we had a simple checkbox that took care of this, and now suddenly we need to jump through hoops and use extensions to load custom CSS? What is even the point.
