Documentation - Customization - Disable Link Underlining

Introduction

This page explains how to disable underlining of links in K-Meleon 0.7. This method also works with K-Meleon 0.6.

Configuration

Links, except those controlled by Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), are normally underlined in K-Meleon. Some people prefer to view web pages with the link underlining turned off. You can disable underlining of links in K-Meleon.

Close K-Meleon before starting. If you are using the Loader, make sure that you exit that also.

1. Open Notepad or your favorite text editor.

2. K-Meleon's preferences are stored in a file called prefs.js. Prefs.js is normally located here:

C:\Program Files\K-Meleon\Profiles\default\xxxxxxxx.slt\

Browse to this location and open prefs.js in Notepad.

3. Move your cursor to the end of the file and add the following line:

user_pref("browser.underline_anchors", false);

4. Save prefs.js and restart K-Meleon.

5. Browse to your favorite web site and enjoy viewing the links without them being underlined.

To re-enable underlining, either change the preference to true or simply delete the line from prefs.js.
