Change colour of search markers in firefox scroll bar
The markings for search results in the firefox scrollbar are pink by default (requires "Highlight All" to be selected):
Is there any code I can plug into a userChrome.css file or similar to change this colour?

Enter
about:configin the address bar. -
Search for
ui.textHighlightBackgroundand change its color value — you can use the #RRGGBB format or generic names such as "green".
Note this also changes the highlight color of the matched text and that Firefox applies a default transparency value to the marks, so that a pure #FF0000 red becomes fainter. There does not seem to be a way to disable that transparency filter.
