In the bookmarks side bar the default colors are a light blue background and a light gray highlighted bookmark name. It briefly is highlighted a deep blue which almost immediately reverts back to a light gray. The two colors are very similar and the highlighted gray is hard to find when returning from the page. Personas change the colors of everything except this. Is there some esoteric command to increase their contrast? Here is the site if it works: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/818/camels.png/ . This color also happens in safe mode. It's not due to an add-on.

You can create a style rule in Firefox to change the colors in that area. In this thread, I gave an example that changes the background color of the bookmarks sidebar so the highlight is more visible, as shown in the attachment.

Using Foxfire 5 in Win 7 I lost the highlighting of current BM in use (as compared to Win XA FF 5)
