I can confirm that this is the same on the 64bit platform. In both platforms, it only affects bookmark links but NOT built in firefox icons', or addon icons' balloons.

I suspect this is the same issue as bug 1250704.
Gecko is not setting up the style context quite right for the text color.

I have two questions: 
Why does it take so long (3 months) to correct this bug? 
Which of the above bug reports should everyone follow?
