FF: 62.0.3 (64-bit) OS: Mac High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G65)

As stated in the subject, Firefox doesn't appear to respecting the color attribute in a :Link selector of an element. You can witness this behavior with this codepen: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/WapdPj?editors=1100

the button elements on the right (see attached) should be colored "light" but is being ignored...

Both Chrome and Safari are preforming as I would expect. Is this an error in Firefox or are the other browsers out of spec?

okay, maybe some issue with codepen. Saving the pen seems to have "fixed" the problem I was seeing. Wasn't necessary when working with chrome. Yet another mystery.

Any changes you make using CSS from the default isn't a FF issue.
