How to Eliminate an Outline in Firefox on a Link

Mozilla Firefox is a Web browser launched by a non-profit organization in 2004. The Firefox 5.0 Web browser contains options to change the font format you view on a Web page. Instead of viewing the default settings, you can customize the font and links, for example. The "Content" pane contains a "Font & Colors" section that can change the hyperlink color and remove the default underline. Links without the underline can give a Web page a streamlined look.

Instructions

1. Open the "Firefox" browser.

2. Click the "Firefox" tab. This orange tab shows white text. A list of commands appears in two panes.

3. Click Options, then the "Options" dialog window opens.

4. Click the "Content" button, and the "Content" panel appears.

5. Click the "Colors" button in the "Fonts & Colors" section, then the "Colors" dialog window opens.

6. Click to clear the check box for "Underline links" in the "Link Colors" section.

7. Click "OK," and the "Colors" dialog window closes.

8. Click "OK," then the "Options" dialog window closes.

9. Type a topic in the Web search text box. The "Search" results will display links without any underlines.

Tips & Warnings

• If the "Firefox" menu bar is visible, click "Tools" to display commands, including "Options." Click "Options" to open the "Options" dialog window.

• A printout of the Web page also shows a cleaner look.
