I would like to change the color of the highlight in find results.

Currently, when I ctrl-F and find some text, it highlights it white text on a green background or, on darker backgrounds, the reverse.

I would like to change those colors to something else. Also, I'd like to change the magenta it uses when highlight all is used.

Maybe its obvious how to do this, but I can't find it anywhere.

Windows 7, Firefox 8.0.

Thanks.

That is not easy to do.
