I am trying to use Firefox 2.0.0.13 with My.Yahoo as my home page. But all the links that show on my page are underlined. I don’t want that and cannot find a way to remove the underlines. Can anyone elaborate on a fix for this problem?

I am currently using Avant Browser and do not have the underline problem.

In Firefox, click on “Tools” then “Options”. In the Options window, click on the “Content” tab, then click on “Colors” under “Fonts & Colors”. You will then see a ticked box saying “Underline links” – untick that box, and save the results by clicking on “OK” two times.

Thanks Giles. I should have been able to find that, but just could not. :smack:

I had to hunt around for it: it’s not obvious.
