Bug Description

On certain pages (History, New Tab) with an external monitor and keyboard connected, the highlighting of the items is really not distinguishable and don't appear to be working using keyboard shortcuts and keys (i.e. arrow keys) to navigate.

Specifically:

History View:
- highlighting of history entries in right hand column need to be darker/different color/more contrast, and/or change the color of the highlighted text
- highlighting of entries in left hand column should match, although the highlighted text currently changes color to orange so that makes it obvious

New Tab View:
- Top Sites section: Can't tell at all which of the thumbnails previews is highlighted, this needs to be made more obvious
- Bookmarks section: both columns currently change text color of selected items so this makes them distinguishable. We should make this consistent with the History View whatever we decide for that.

Attached are screenshots on my monitor with items selected. On History View, the first item on "Today" is selected and on Top Sites the "MP4 Files" is selected.
