Does this mix -moz-nativehyperlink in foreground with hardcoded colors in the background?

This will completely change with the work on bug 562622. See the design mockups attached there.

Blair, marking as WONTFIX?

My -moz-nativehyperlink question applies to all links in EM UI.

That will be fixed by bug 563565 - which will be sorted out once we have a more final visual design (current colors are temporary).

Since removing the link is a perfectly valid solution to this bug, the right work flow is to mark this fixed when the link has been removed. However, attachment 442478 [details] still contains links (fourth and fifth step).

Is it gone throughout all states? (see attachment 442478 [details])

The specific text that's shown in the screenshot is gone, but there are still other cases. And yes, they still use -moz-nativehyperlinktext on top of hardcoded background colors (soon to be textures).

Now we are showing "View Available Updates" at the left side of the utility button once updates are available. The link looks good to me now.
