I updated to Firefox 70 today and I'm noticing that the default link color is now light blue instead of the typical blue.
Using the browser inspector, it looks like the "PreferenceStyleSheet" is overriding the default link color:
I have no idea what the PreferenceStyleSheet is or how it was enabled. Toggling the color values under "General > Colors" in about:preferences doesn't seem to do anything.
As a last resort, I wiped out my prefs.js file and the correct colors came back, so it's probably an about:config setting, but I'm not sure which one is causing this.
I'd like to disable the PreferenceStylesheet. Any help would be appreciated.
What is PreferenceStyleSheet?

My inspector tab shows "(user agent)" not "PreferenceStyleSheet" in the rule view.
I can right click on "(user agent)" next to the *|*:link rule and click "Copy Location" to copy the "about:PreferenceStyleSheet" url to the clipboard.

Maybe you reset the following prefs when you wiped out the prefs.js file.
* browser.anchor_color
* browser.visited_color
Firefox fails to load PreferenceStyleSheet

Re: What is PreferenceStyleSheet?
Thanks for the reply, morat.
I've already checked that forum thread and Reddit post and I couldn't get enough info from those posts.
Right clicking on "PreferenceStyleSheet" doesn't enable me to copy anything:
About the "browser.anchor_color" and "browser.visited_color" prefs, those were never set.
Any other advice would be appreciated.

Well you don't want to disable the about:PreferenceStyleSheet stylesheet.

Re: What is PreferenceStyleSheet?
I see the clickable "PreferenceStyleSheet" link as well next to the *|*:link rule under the color rule in the computed tab with the browser styles option checked. I never noticed that before.
