While this might be effective and offers a great usability it looks pretty boring but this is going to change right now. It is possible to redesign Google Web Search if you use Firefox.</p><p>You can change the default layout of Google Web Search to a dark blue or a dark gray design which looks phenomenal. Just take a look at the preview images below to get a first look at how it could look like.</p><p>All you need to do is copy some code into the Firefox userContent.css file. The best way to do it is to search for the file which should be located in your profile folder. Append the code at the end of the file and restart Firefox afterwards. If you visit google.com afterwards you will notice that the website looks either dark blue or Grey depending on the choice that you made.</p><p><span

If your default search engine is not google.com you have to edit the code. Search for google.com and replace it with the domain name of your local search engine, e.g. google.co.uk.</p><p><strong>Read More:</strong></p><p><a

This can be useful for instance if a webmaster decided to use CSS code to remove the underline of links, change the color for links that open in new windows or display additional information for certain file type downloads.
The first thing that you need to do is locate or create the file usercontent.css in your Mozilla Firefox profile directory. It can usually be located in %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<xxx.yyy>\chrome in Windows where xxx is a random number and yyy the name of the profile (default for instance). ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that it is possible to override the way a website is displayed by default in Firefox.
