Answer 1

Try using the vendor extension versions -moz-selection and -webkit-selection:

::selection { background:#B9B9B9; color:#000000; }
::-moz-selection { background:#B9B9B9; color:#000000; }
::-webkit-selection { background:#B9B9B9; color:#000000; }

Note that the selection pseudo has been removed from the current draft.
