Details
As of 0.9.6, mozilla paints labels on disabled buttons (input type=submit) in slightly brighter text color. If the color of label is already bright, most people will be unable to distinguish disabled button from non-disabled one. IE draws labels on disabled buttons using 'engraved' effect, so they are always distinguishable if viewed with IE. Attached is a sample page that demonstrates disabled and non-disabled button.

Yes, I see what you mean. Good point. However, this is HTML Form Controls. ->

I am not too sure what to do with this.... First, as we have been saying for a long time, inputs are not to be styled, the CSS spec hasn't fully specified it. Second, I huess if you AER styling it, maybe you should go ahead and style the disabled case also.

I understand that it's possible to color define CSS rules, but for sake of visually-compatibility with IE (that doesn't require css rules for disabled buttons) it would be nice to draw text on disabled buttons with some effect (e.g. as IE does) (in order not to require existing sites to be redesigned specially for mozilla). As for non-themability of inputs as meant by CSS spec authors - I see no point thier POV. Non-themed inputs on a page with very dark background look like white shoes on a man in all black - i.e. stupid/disturbing. They should be themeable.. As for themability of inputs - please see #149266 . Before 0.9.7 mozilla allowed to theme all types of html form controls, but at least since 0.9.9 that is not true (somebody changed that intentionally)..
