- Simple and practical way to enable visited link coloring.
- Effective in its core function before recent Firefox updates.

This was a great add on before it quit working. PLEASE fix.

It was a great addon, but for some time it seems not to work anymore. To change links colors I have to to enable Firefox's contrast feature, which changes many other parameters. Having "visited link enabler" enabled or not does not change the situation. Links have always FF default colors :-(

Works for me, the recent Fx update merely changed default color in my case (now it's purple instead my earlier red). One thing I really miss is black/whitelist and per-site settings. For example I could have red as visited, but on Wikipedia that could be green. It needs a new info on color settings: now it's Settings>General>Contrast settings>Custom>Manage colors (might differ due the translation of different locale). For dark theme use BG: [RGB 28 27 34] FG: [251 251 254] PS: I just realized the purple color in default (light or dark) theme in Fx comes from "accent color" in Windows. So you can either use custom theme or change windows settings.

Extension safety
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk
impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of
damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your
personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they
do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
visited link enabler requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details
- Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious.
This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on
Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been
around, and other signals about the
Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change
as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always
exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
visited link enabler is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
