The about: page sets colours for links in the stylesheet, but not
for the background or foreground. This makes the links unreadable
if you're using a dark background.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Colors
2. Select a dark blue background, with a pale forground colour
3. Click "OK", then go to the about: page

Actual Results:  
Unreadable links...


It's a common mistake. If you're specifying colours anywhere in a document,
you have to eitehr do all of them or none of them...

[Kai Lahmann (is there, where MNG is)]

so don't set those values :)

That would be the Microsoft/Apple approach -- do it our way or not
at all. I don't like that mindset, which is (in part) why I use
Mozilla...

Would it be reasonable to assume that since Mozilla is requesting the default
link colours that it should request the default page colours too?
