1. Enter `about:config` in the address bar. 2. Search for `ui.textHighlightBackground` and change its color value — you can use the [#RRGGBB format][2] 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. References and attribution: [Bug report 1][0] and [bug report 2][1].
