Firefox – Change Default Color When Opening Links in New Tab

cssfirefoxstyles

I'm using Stylish addon for Firefox with a default dark css. I also have changed the default Window colors in Windows registry. This has changed the about:blank page's color to a dark one. But when I open a link on a new tab, before the page loads, Firefox is showing a blank page with white background. I wonder how can I change this white color to a different one.

Best Answer

Create a folder named "Chrome" in this location: C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[profile]\chrome

and created an empty userChrome.css file with this line:

browser { background-color: #373739 !important; }

It worked fine for me.

I just wrote a quick Greasemonkey script that checks the computed style of the body element and changes it to black (you probably want to choose a different colour):

(function () {
    if (window.getComputedStyle(document.body, null).getPropertyValue("background-color") == "rgb(255, 255, 255)") {
        console.log("Setting new background color...");
        document.body.setAttribute("style", "background-color: #000000;");
    }
})();

The problem with these types of things is that unless websites are designed extremely well, there will be blotches of white on black.

On my box (ubuntu 12+) custom css is possible:

~/.config/chromium/Default/User\ StyleSheets/Custom.css

As for now, it's not (yet) possible for chrome://newtab/ , see http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/override.html for more information.
