The icons shown to indicate direction in the dropdown menu for the back/forward nav buttons don't stand out from the background in the hover (_moz-menuactive) state.  Would be good if the icons were brightened to stand out better, as suggested here:

See menu-back.png, menu-forward.png, and aero versions.

Filing this for Windows.  Don't know about Mac or Linux.

Reproducible: Always

I've noticed a similar issue in the Add-ons pane, with the blue stars blending in to the blue selected-addon background.

Similar issue also exists in Download Manager.  New individual item gray colored buttons blend in with the alternate gray colored backgrounds on vista.  (Previously it was the blue buttons blending with the blue selected background)  The buttons are also pretty small in proportion to the size of the window, item row height, and available space.
