Illegible highlighted text in Firefox

When I highlight text in Firefox, it usually becomes illegible due to the color the highlight. Pics can explain better than words. This is on a Mac btw.
In Firefox:
In Safari:
Is there some way to change the highlight color in Firefox? In XP, Firefox uses the system highlight color, but on the mac it seems to use its own.

Tools -> Options, then click on the Content Tab, and about half way down there's some options for fonts and colors? I'd try playing around with those.
I'd suggest setting the color to black (best contrast on the forums), starting firefox, then once firefox finishes launching changing it back to whatever color you had before.
ura: mac and windows apps tend to have different menu layouts. On macs the options are almost always found under [App Name]->Preferences.
I'm not sure if a Carbon app would even be able to find out that the highlight colour had changed. It would be pretty expensive to query what colour it is every time.
Cocoa apps get to find out for free, as they're using native widgets.
This worked. Thanks a lot! I was hoping for some special about:config item to override it, but this will work for now.
Eh, the most someone could reasonably do a highlight is several times a second, and I can't imagine a simple query for what the highlight color is whenever firefox receives a drag event would be an expensive operation.
Not that it matters unless you happen to be a firefox dev.
