As a result of bug 387345 background tabs are 2px shorter than they used to be. They are leaving quite a lot of empty space on the tabbar above them. For me, these 2 pixels make a significant difference by making the tabs look smaller as click targets. I don't think this change was necessary. If it was meant to further differentiate between background and selected tabs, then I think that it was a bad trade-off.
Am I the only one who has this impression?

It's only 1 pixel shorter than the previous design and other than border colors, bug 387345 didn't change the appearance of the tabs at all.

Now I see that the top border is thicker on background tabs, so technically they are only 1px shorter. However, because the border colour is very light, the visual difference still appears bigger.

Why would it be invalid? It is true that they are shorter. It's just not the only thing contributing to the problem that they appear much smaller. Anyway...

Because it's intentional that they are smaller than the selected tab. That's not a bug.
Bug 387345 making them appear even smaller was unintentional.

Bug 404769 is fixed, so let's close this. We should be close enough to how the tabs looked like after bug 380381 and before bug 387345.
Adam, you're free to reopen this bug. However, asking for more than parity with bug 380381 is likely to get less support, because that change was intentional (to make the selected tab stand out more) and ui-reviewed.
