When opening a webpage, links are for 80% invisible because there are covered with a blue line. However you can open them. Have not this problem with IE6. But I prefer Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Does it work if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? (it temporarily disables
plugins and extensions, this test will help narrow down the cause of the
problem)

I can send you some picture what I see on my screen. It didn't make any difference to go in safe mode.

The reporter wrote in a mail:

I tryed with the profile to change but it didn't make any change.
When you go to the link, it changes from color from blue to red.
When you click on it, the link will be opend.

No reply, INCOMPLETE. Please retest with Firefox 3.6.8 or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). If you continue to see this issue with the newest firefox and a new profile, then please comment on this bug.
