Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20081214 Minefield/3.2a1pre - Build ID: 20081214020626

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add the following to <yourprofile>/chrome/userChrome.css (creating the file if it doesn't exist):

/*
 * define distinctive backgrounds for tabs
 */
/* white for unread tabs */
.tabbrowser-tabs *|tab:not([selected])
  { background-color:   white           !important
  }
/* dark red for non-current tabs at mouseover */
.tabbrowser-tabs *|tab:hover
  { background-color:   #C00            !important
  }
/* bright cyan for current tab */
.tabbrowser-tabs *|tab[selected=true]
  { background-color:   #0FF            !important
  }
/* bright yellow for current tab at mouseover */
.tabbrowser-tabs *|tab[selected=true]:hover
  { background-color:   yellow          !important
  }
/* other tabs (read but not current) retain the BG color in the theme */

2. Start (or restart) Firefox and have it open several tabs in the background (or from a multitab homepage or a multitab session)
3. Drag the last tab to first position.

Actual results:
- At step 2, most tabs are white (unread), this is expected.
- After step 3, all tabs become grey (read), showing that they have acquired a "selected" attribute.

Expected results:
Moving a tab should not modify the attributes of any other tab.
