I'm running a failry customized userChrome.css with Firefox but can't seem to figure out how to eg. change the background color of the selected item from the autocomplete dropdown presented when typing in the URL bar.

I've used DOM inspector and see that they are are all of type '.autocomplete-richlistitem'. I've tried modifying them with 'active', 'focus' etc. but have no luck. I have it working such that my style is applied when I hover them, but when I use the arrow keys to select one of them I can't seem to get any style to apply, and I haven't been able to figure out what attribute defines the selected item using the DOM Inspector.

Anyone know the CSS required to style these?

The DOM Inspector shows these two attributes for an .autocomplete-richlistitem when I use the cursor down key:

  • selected = true
  • current = true

chrome://browser/skin/browser.css 

.autocomplete-richlistitem {
  height: 30px;
  min-height: 30px;
  font: message-box;
  border-radius: 2px;
  border: 1px solid transparent;
}

.autocomplete-richlistitem:hover,
treechildren.searchbar-treebody::-moz-tree-row(hover) {
  background-color: hsla(0, 0%, 0%, 0.06);
  border-color: hsla(0, 0%, 0%, 0.1);
}

.autocomplete-richlistitem[selected],
treechildren.searchbar-treebody::-moz-tree-row(selected) {
  background-color: Highlight;
}

That did the trick! Couldn't seem to derive that same information myself! Thanks a lot!
