I have a bookmarklet that sets a strike-through style on visited links so I can tell them out in sites that don't display them in a different colour (such us Mozilla Support). This no longer works in Firefox 4. What are my alternatives?

What is the code of that bookmarklet?

You can also do that with code in userContent.css 

:visited { text-decoration : line-through !important; }

The code is this:

javascript:(function(){var%20css=document.createElement('link');css.rel=%22stylesheet%22;css.href='data:text/css,'+escape(%22:visited{text-decoration:line-through%20!important;}%22);document.documentElement.childNodes[0].appendChild(css);})();

The problem is that Firefox 4 ignores text-decoration on purpose:
