What is the userChrome entry for the border around input boxes?

I run KDE with a dark theme, and the input boxes in Firefox 31 are black with white text, which is annoying. I learnt to edit the userChrome file and add:

input { background-color: white !important; color: black !important; }

Now, there is a problem. While it literally makes backgrounds white and texts black, it leaves an *ugly* black border! I took a snapshot, if you want to look: http://linuxmusicians.com/download/file.php?id=490

What is the name of that black thing, in the userChrome file? How can I change it to white?

Thanks a lot!

Hey, Sorry the attachment is not working, but there was a css you may try:

input { background-color: white !important; color: black !important; border: solid white;}

Just in case:

userChrome.css - for user interface

userContent.css - for web pages
