Lets leave it as its own bug for now so we do not forget about particular issues.

This bug appears to cover the same issue with the default theme, which is unreadable for colorblind people for the same links.

Does it now work for you with the latest nightly build, now that bug 601022 has been fixed?

With bug 563565 marked as wontfix, how do we want to proceed here? It really doesn't look that nice on dark os-wide themes.
