I don't know if this is a regression or intentional. (iirc our dialog is forked from Firefox)
Also don't know if we should mimic Firefox in this regard.
Josiah, do you have an opinion?

This was intentional. Richard implemented the change a while back (I don't recall the bug # ATM).

Richard, didn't we change the color because we thought the white wasn't visible enough?

Yes, this was made in bug 888218 to better highlight the links on Aurora and Daily. FX had the same issue and they have chosen the underline. I don't think we need to follow FX as it is only for pre-release builds and we don't need to follow FX everywhere ;)

I'm closing this bug with WONTFIX. If someone has a good reason to reopen, he can do this.
