How do I get rid of the dotted lines around links in Firefox?
I really, really, hate the dotted lines that appear around links when you click on them when using firefox. I have looked around for an answer, and many sites mention something about CSS. What is it and how do I find it so I can get rid of those infernal lines?
Michelle answers:
The dotted line is an accessibility feature for users that don’t use or don’t have a mouse. For example, when you press the tab key to navigate items on a page, the dotted line shows which element has focus.
If you are creating an html page, then you can use the “outline” css property and set it to 0 like so:
:focus {
outline: 0;
}
If you want to get rid of the dotted lines on other websites, you have to add your own user stylesheet to the browser. Find the css file named “userContent-example.css” and rename it to “userContent.css”. Mine is located at “C:UsersTAppDataRoaming MozillaFirefoxProfiles 82hahf2w.defaultchrome”.
Just add the following css to that stylesheet:
:focus {
outline: 0 !important;
}

How do I remove a Secure Connection Exception in Firefox?
I tried to request a secure connection to a website in firefox, and was told that the connection couldn’t be verified as secure, and that the certificate was for the wrong site, and all sorts like that. I then added an Exception.
How would I later remove that Exception, so that the screen will come up again if I go there?
I am running the latest version of Firefox.
Any help is appreciated.
Michelle answers:
Firefox menu “Advanced -> Encryption -> View Certificates -> Servers”.

How do I get videos from YouTube and other sites to play using Firefox?
I have had this problem for over a month. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. I tried updating Flash but I got an error message that they most recent version is already installed.
Michelle answers:
First exit Firefox and uninstall Flash Player, then download and Install the latest version again from adobe. That usually solves that problem.
