278805 - Selecting an alternate stylesheet, then reload page causes default stylesheet to be used

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 159387

(Firefox :: Disability Access, defect)

I'm working on making a website accessible.  When an alternate stylesheet
is selected (e.g. by someone with different visual requirements), and then
the page is reloaded, the default stylesheet is used instead of the alternate
one previously selected.

If you select an alternate stylesheet, and then click a link to another
page on the same site, you end up with the default stylesheet again.

This makes stylesheets pretty much unusable for accessibility purposes.



Reproducible: Always

Can you link me to a page that has multiple stylesheets, or something, or create
a testcase for this?

I've added the URL of the prototype of the website I'm working on.  It's
going to be part of a much bigger website.  There are two pages on my
site, the main page and the "Archive" page.  You can see everything I
described using those two pages and their stylesheets.

I just looked at the bug 159387 that you marked this as a duplicate of and it's
been languishing for over _2_ years with no action, not even any discussion of
how to fix it.  Any plans to fix it?

Looks like bug 159387 is marked as a duplicate of bug 83663?
