Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1704347

(Firefox :: Theme, enhancement)

Description

Attachment: firefox-ui-tab-suggestion.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:90.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/90.0

Steps to reproduce:

90.0a1 (2021-05-25) (64-bit) Windows 10

Nightly is set to use Dark theme
I use Firefox containers, to open specific sites in those tabs. Also use "no container" / regular tabs to open general sites.

Actual results:

The Active tab is not visually prominent, when I have several tabs open.
The colored border for container tabs are visually more prominent.
Screenshot attached.

Expected results:

The active tab should be more prominent. The other inactive tabs should be a bit more subdued visually.
It should be easy to spot the active tab.

Suggestions
Active tab: font-color white, maybe font-weight bold, or a prominent border around the active tab
Inactive tab: Lighter shade of gray
