Trying to undo the White text on a light blue translucent background
for menus or bookmarks that have submenus or items (bookmarks)
that I am seeing in Fx3 when a menu folder is moused over or selected..

They show up fine until moused over, I need to identify such items
in their mouse over / selected state and need to make the text and
background more visible Black text (#000000) some pastel color
of my choice would be fine perhaps #DCFFDC

I think this is something similar to what I need but it doesn't work.

/* represents a directory grouping */
menupopup > menu[selected="true"] {
-moz-appearance: none !important ;
color: #000000 !important ;
background-color: #DCFFDC !important ;
background-image: none !important ;
}

must be the theme that you are using - I see nothing that resembles
"white on translucent blue" here, with the default theme!

Did you put your command into the userchrome.css whilst FF was closed??

reg

"squaredancer"

That wouldn't make any difference. Right now I'm actually trying to work
with modifications of userstyles to override anything previously there.

Does anyone have an answer to my original question.

Try these for bookmarks menu items and/or submenu items:

menupopup > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"]
menupopup > menuitem[_moz-menuactive="true"]

Thanks Rom, that is the solution, and I appear to have that in my
userChrome.css so it is nice to be able to override and test
in userstyles and will have to find an actual error in useChrome
that may be causing a problem -- somewhere it has a bad
padding setting that may be related to more problems.

I need to get the arrowtip that shows there are addition items/menus
to be also be white just like I have the text. when the line is selected.
