I can't believe there isn't a bug about background tabs, but I can't find it, so confirming. For the record, I'm experiencing this on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:2.0b5pre) Gecko/20100829 Firefox/4.0b5pre in maximized mode (though non-maximized on dark background would also do).

There's bug 580194 about favicons. There's also bug 575056, but I'm not sure what it's about...

@  Nickolay Ponomarev,

Ah. I didn't see bug 575056 before I submitted this. When that one is patched, this bug should be resolved as well.

You can try out the fix in the current nightly - http://nightly.mozilla.org/

Significantly better IMO.
