Details
To counter the effects of bad image and colour schemes on some web pages, and make them quickly viewable, a useful facility would be the ability to quickly hide bg and fg images and to 'neutralise' (for want of a better word) the font and other colours in the current document. This has proved very useful on occasion in another browser I use (Acorn Browse). It has the following menu options: Use documents colours Show foreground images Show background images All of which are enabled by default. Any new pages viewed (ie links followed) within the current window would inherit the state of these options. This assumes that other pages on the site would be equally afflicted. ;) Another possible option that would seem appropriate would be a corresponding option for sounds.

In 4.x, `Always use my colors, overriding document' did exactly what you describe, and I assume the same will be true of Mozilla. So, paul, is your request for: * making it more clear in the prefs dialog that `Always use my colors' ignores custom background images, as well as custom background colors; or * providing a method of turning such things on/off which is quicker than going into the prefs dialog?

No sign of it yet in the Moz prefs.. will it appear in the future? There is a font override option in the fonts section and a don't-download- images option elsewhere, but this is not the same thing. Re Matthew's question: I'm suggesting the latter option - a quick way to either: (a) disable all embedded style (including backgrounds), or (b) the option to disable selected ones as I suggested in the original submission. My preference would be for the latter. Of the three options I mentioned, the 'use document colours' and the 'bg images' options were (obviously) the most useful for making a bad page readable. In that browser the 'foreground images' option did double duty as the equivalent to the traditional 'show images' preference. I'm talking about a quick fix that can be turned on and off quickly for the odd page - currently I tend to go elsewhere rather than bother to wade through the prefs. I guess we're talking about readability options in the same vein as the existing text size options in the View menu.

Interesting idea and one worth thinking about. It's probably outside the scope of the current release, though, so I'm marking this "future" for reconsideration later.

Yes it is, pretty much. So I've taken the liberty of marking this as a duplicate of that one. I'll add some comments to 38521 to cover the slight differences to what I was suggesting here. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 38521 ***
