In the menu drop downs under 'Edit' and 'View' and 'History' there are items that are 'inactive' and cannot be selected.

I have changed the background colour and look of the Menu drop downs in my CSS file but am looking for a way to show the 'unselectable' items.

In the Edit menu it is: Redo , Cut, Copy, Delete and associated keyboard shortcuts that have black text. i need light grey.

In the View menu it is: Text Encoding that is black

In the History menu it is: Recently closed windows

Does anyone have the code required to make them look light grey even if not 'selectable'. I have all selectable items with white text as the drop down background colour is teal.

I would appreciate any help I can get.

That is this CSS rule in chrome://global/skin/menu.css => color: GrayText;

You can override this color with a color of your choice in userChrome.css with the "!important;" flag appended.

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line. 

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

menu[disabled="true"],
menuitem[disabled="true"],
menucaption[disabled="true"] {
  color: GrayText !important; /*your preferred color*/
}

In Firefox 69 and later you need to set this pref to true on the about:config page to enable userChrome.css and userContent.css in the chrome folder.

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
