Changing Web Page Appearance using FireFox

Disable blinking elements
You probably just find the blinking above annoying. To stop it, add the following code to your user.js file:

Code:
// Put an end to blinking text!
    user_pref("browser.blink_allowed", false);



Disable <marquee> tags
Some sites using scrolling marquee tags. If you don't find them useful, add the following code to your userContent.css file:

Code:
 /* Stop those <marquee> tags! */
    marquee {
       -moz-binding                  : none !important;
       display                       : block;
       height                        : auto !important;
    }



Force frames to be resizable
Many sites use frames to display their contents, and sometimes the frames are too small. To force all frames to be resizable, add the following code to your user.js file:

Code:
// Force frames to be resizable
       user_pref("layout.frames.force_resizability", true);
Note that this will also make the frames appear with a fixed-width border and thus, may make the pages look funny.



Change the cursor for links that open in new window
This neat trick will change the mouse pointer when you hover it over links that will open a new window. Add the following code to your userContent.css file:

Code:
/* Change cursor for links that open in new window */
    :link[target="_blank"], :visited[target="_blank"],
    :link[target="_new"],   :visited[target="_new"] {
       cursor:  crosshair;
    }



Change the cursor for JavaScript links
This tip will change the mouse pointer when you hover it over links that will perform a JavaScript command. Add the following code to your userContent.css file:

Code:
/* Change cursor for JavaScript links */
    a[href^="javascript:"] {
       cursor: move;
    }
