I downloaded the two files and checked the display of the links. And everything looked normal to me: Links on the page as well as in Firebug with black text color and white background. Nav links with white text color and maroon background, like shown in Firebug. Unfortunately I don't understand some parts of what your explanations. You say, Firebug displays the styles as expected, but the page shows you the links black on black like in the screenshot? Sounds like this is not Firebug related. To test this please create a new profile (http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/ FAQ#Installing_in_a_clean_profile) WITHOUT installing Firebug and load your page there. If the problem persists, then you know it's not caused by Firebug, but either a bug in Firefox, in another extension or in your code. If the problem is gone, install Firebug 1.8.0a1 in that new profile and load the page again. If the problem reappears afterwards, please create a new issue at http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/ .
