Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:89.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/89.0
Steps to reproduce:
I re-installed Firefox - same result. Or more accurately Firefox installed 89.0 without warning. Twice.
Actual results:
The system wide Windows color that I use for all application grab-bars was changed by 89.0 to White. That means if the FF page color is white, and it overlays another white page, and the grab-bar is white, then . . . it's difficult to find the FF window so that it can be moved or double-clicked to maximize, or find the minimize/../close icons. Or to locate the Tabs underneath. Or to tell the difference between where Firefox is on the desktop and anything else is on the desktop.
Expected results:
An application should never mess with an essential system wide GUI standard, and that includes Firefox.
Firefox should not change the Grab-Bar color.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Theme' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

The Grab-Bar is common to every application, and should be consistent across all applications: size, location, color, little control icons on the right, etc. This is a System GUI bug, the Grab-Bar shouldn't be part of a Theme. Firefox is a mainstream "mission critical" application, it's not a game, why should Firefox degrade the Windows GUI that's existed for many years?

Marking this issue as a duplicate for Bug 1705072 because I think the work on this issue is already being tracked there.

With all due respect: Bug 1705072 was opened 2 months ago, and does not mention Grab Bar. The Grab Bar issue that I have "Bug" began in just the last few days when Firefox Windows Version 89.0 was unconditionally installed. The Grab Bar changed from the user selected Windows System Wide Color to the default Firefox no-contrast "white" (actually very light gray). This is a different issue than the other bug, now 2 months old.
See Edge, see Chrome, an easily distinguishable Grab Bar is the visual reference for the window, for the application. Please don't just summarily close this bug, this issue.

Is my calling the bar at the top of a window "Grab Bar" causing confusion? It's also called "Title Bar".
