To style system.  We're overriding the forms.css color settings with the "chosen
colors" and I don't think we want to do that...

The universal selector in PresShell::SetPrefColorRules is affecting input, 
select, option, optgroup, textarea, and button. The color/background/border 
rules in forms.css need to cascade over it. This could be done by duplicating 
them as !important rules in the generated user sheet along with the background 
and color pref rule.

The comment at 2158 about the cascade also needs updating...
