Firefox Visually Inaccessible Since Most Recent Update

"I am visually impaired and am having problems with this new update. My unread links have all gone florescent blue (rather than bold black for unread and unbold black for read); to my eyes, they flash and I can't read them. There are no lines around the tabs so I can't tell where I am. On web pages, many of the outlines have disappeared. Setting my preferences and telling Firefox to always "override the colors specified by the page" doesn't work. And it's not a virus or my computer. Safari uses bold black for unread links and unbold for read; Safari is one of the least visually accessible browsers I've ever encountered. Firefox was visually accessible for years. What gives? Help please.

Also, email me when someone answers isn't working but maybe that's because I can't see the outline to check the box.
