353317 - not enough color/contrast difference between active and inactive buttons

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

For me (a mildly colorblind person) this is particularly noticeable on the forward/back buttons: the 'active' version of the button looks too much like the inactive version, and while I can distinguish between them, it requires a more direct look.   

If the active buttons were slightly darker or more saturated it would be easier to  quickly differentiate between the two versions, even out of the corner of my eye.  People with more pronounced color-blindness would likely have more difficulty with this than I do.

Reproducible: Always

Please retest with

There have been substantial changes since 2.0b2.

Since the buttons have changed since b2, I am marking worksforme. If you still have the problem, please reopen this bug.
