Highlighting Firefox links

I would post in this thread (http://blogoscoped.com/forum/2462.html) but it seems to be locked. The thread inspired this tutorial and code-generator (http://splasho.com/blog/2006/04/13/howto-highlight-links-to-your-site-with-firefox/) on how to perform the very useful link highlighting with Stylish.

Thanks a lot for the idea which I now use all the time

any way to get this to also work on Sponsored Links? They are not real links...

You're right Travis, the HR3F's are actually like this

/pagead/iclk?sa=l&ai=BVvoh
rFtCRIyNBYbSQvOXnCLKsc
sJwMOkuQHk5bAFkKEPCAAQ
ARgBKAI4AECKFkiWOVD
MotmY-P____8BmAHdc6AB0
MdHqgEEMkdNTMgBAZUCC1AQ
Cg&adurl=https : //adwords.goo
gle.com/select/%3Fhl%3DE
N_GB%26sourceid%3DAWO%2
6subid%3DUK-HA-UK

(thats an ad for Google Adwords)

But, because it contains the URL with a few changes the code can work.

My script would automatically generate this code for this site:

Please note that I've had to write hr3f, but the 3 should be an e. This forum blocks the correct spelling to stop spam.
---------------------------
a[hr3f^="http://blogoscoped.com"]{
-moz-outline:2px dashed #FF0000!important; /* A */
}
[put at-character here]-moz-document domain(blog.outer-court.com) {
a[hr3f^="http://blogoscoped.com"]{
-moz-outline:0!important; /* B */
}
}
---------------------------

If you changed it to this, then it would work for Sponsored Links too:

-----------------------------
a[hr3f*="http://blogoscoped.com"]{
-moz-outline:2px dashed #FF0000!important; /* A */
}
[put at-character here]-moz-document domain(blog.outer-court.com) {
a[hr3f*="http://blogoscoped.com"]{
-moz-outline:0!important; /* B */
}
}
--------------------------

All that happens is that "^=" changes to "*=".
^= means 'begins with'
whereas *= is more broad and just means 'contains somewhere', so it can spot the URL hidden as a parameter.
