1843807 - Change active tab, usability issue

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Focus :: General, defect)

Description

[bdurdo00]

Attachment: Screenshot_20230716-214911_Firefox Focus.jpg

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Firefox Focus
2. Select dark theme inside settings
3. Search anything
4. Select any link from search results and click "Open link in private tab"
5. Click on the element showing number of tabs in upper right corner, next to settings

Actual results:

Active tab is presented in dark purple color, while inactive tabs are highlighted with light purple color.
Attached image shows the output.

Expected results:

The active tab and inactive tabs should substitute the color. Because, current design violates Jakob Nielsen's heuristics. It is standard to highlight active tab and users can easily get confused while changing tab.

(Light theme is properly implemented, the active tab is highlighted as supposed)
