    how to change the way sites look in your firefox browser

    Anybody?

    I'm so sick and tired of all 17" of my monitor being covered with BLINDING WHITE backgrounds, how do you screw with the CSS or whatever and replace all white Bg's with gray or something? I'd like to make Dreamweaver do the same thing, if anybody knows how!

          My ex girlfriend said something to me the other day which made almost as much sense as your answer. She said "I quit muy job because I wasn't making enough money"... and now she's unemployed.

            If you're trying to make pages look the way they were designed in Internet Explorer you should use Internet Explorer
            .

              no i want to override the site's bgcolor.

              like when you look at this page - some crappy white background link - the bg color is white. I want it to show up on my screen as something less blinding like gray (cccccc instead of ffffff)

                  Hmm, sometimes I use View->Page Style->No Style; but that turns the background white anyways. There should be a way to do it, I'd look on a Mozilla board not gfy.

                          I never maximize my browser - I have a 17" monitor as well with 1280x1024 resolution - my browser probably takes up 750x550 or something.

                          Rarely have to scroll left/right and don't worry about too much white space and can't actually get to icons on the desktop w/o have to minimize/show desktop all the time.

                              Maybe reduce the brightness/contrast levels on your monitor if you find it so "blinding." I find white backgrounds quite soothing so it may be your monitor.

                                Thank you, that did almost everything I wanted it to. When I open a new window I don't get blinded - my eyes thank you

                                  I had a young girl that worked for me, and one day she asked for the next day off... I ask her why do you need the day off... she tells me 2 look for another job. I tell her sure you can have it off and don't bother coming back on Wed. because you don't have a job here any more.
