Build ID: 20151223140742

Steps to reproduce:

In Windows 10 default theme, all windows are using a white title bar (Firefox is using a dark gray title bar), Windows don't mark an active window anyhow special.

If you have a large screen (or multiple screens) and don't run your applications maximized all the time it is very difficult to distinguish between active window or non-active windows (and if you are keyboard user this will become a real pain).

With Windows 10 Microsoft introduced a new option called "Show color on Start, taskbar, action center and title bar" (Settings -> Personalization -> Colors) which allows the user to pick a color which then will be used for the title bar of the active window, too.


Actual results:

But it turns out that Firefox (tested with Firefox 43.0.3) currently doesn't support/honor this setting. Firefox will always show a gray title bar, it doesn't matter whether Firefox is the active window or not.


Expected results:

Firefox should honor "Show color on Start, taskbar, action center and title bar" option (i.e. reading the the set color) to use it in title bar for the active window.
