Test done on IBM T42 ThinkPad, with Screen Resolution 1024x768 pixels using
High Contrast #1 (extra large).

Panel,  Accesibility Options dialog, on the Display page.

The quick toggle for high contrast is leftalt+leftshift+printscreen

I have this one, we need to detect the a11y theme switch and fall back to pre-refresh tabs.  Might be able to fix classic too, while I'm there.

Would bug 349163 fix this without needing to programmatically detect high contrast mode?  It seems like making our default theme more robust about colors would be good, if it's doable.

is this fixed now that bug #350690 is fixed?  (note, the left, right and all tabs buttons have not been fixed yet.)
