Is anybody else seeing new colors for hyperlinks in DU?

All of a sudden my dark blues on the home page and in post replies are a pastel shade. Curious if anyone else is getting this. Is it a DU change, or is it my browser?

I'm getting the pale blue links, and I think it happened right after the latest Firefox update
