Firefox ignores every background-color setting in the userContent.css, at least for every form element. Even with !important the background color is only changed if the element has a background color already set.
Changing the border also doesnt work.
Other settings, like color or font-size, works like expected.
Setting a background color for everything (*) changes the background color fpr everything, except form elements.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. use a dark colored gtk theme and no firefox theme
1. edit chrome/userContent.css like this:
input { background-color: white; color: black; }
2. open any website with form elements with unset background, like this:
<html>
  <head><title>test</title></head>
  <body>
    <form method="get" action="get.php">
      <input id="query" name="q" size="10" value="" type="text">
    </form>
  </body>
</html>
Actual Results:  
The input field has no white background (except if with the choosen theme the background will be white by default ;)

Expected Results:  
The input field should have a white background.

I think this is a duplicate of Bug 419973.
For this to work, you
1. need to use !important
2. more importantly, you need to specify '-moz-appearance:none;'.

So this is by design. See bug 240117 comment 18 and down.

Do you mean there is no way to override the default but not the site styles? If this is so by design, then i dont like the design ;)

I think not. When normaly using css in a site it all works for me, but the same setting in chrome/userContent.css is ignored.

So, im Sorry. 
Its realy not a Bug. As philippe said, '-moz-appearance:none;' fixed the problem. At least i had searched the web for a solution, but i failed ;)
