This looks pretty bad, and can show up at first run.

Which version of OS X were you using?

Can you attach a screen shot?

I noticed it on 10.7, I'm not sure if it happens elsewhere.

I've now seen this myself (also on OS X 10.7).  But I'm pretty sure I
remember seeing it on other versions of OS X (10.5 and up).

It's quite a subtle bug, and doesn't happen all the time.

Here's what I did:

1) Download a new FF distro and copy the binary somewhere on your hard
   drive.

2) Double-click on the binary

   The first time you do this, the OS will pop up a dialog warning
   that your application has been downloaded from the internet, and
   asking if you want to open it.

   If you click "open", Firefox will run *but it won't have the
   application focus*.

   Now you'll sometimes see the Default Browser dialog/sheet.  Since
   Firefox isn't the currently focused application, the titlebar will
   have its "unfocused" color -- as appropriate.

   But (and here's the bug) the rest of Firefox will have its
   "focused" color.

I've just seen this with a recent nightly on OS X 10.5.  But I suspect it's a very old bug.

It *is* an old bug:  I've now seen it in both FF 3.6.17 and FF 3.5.19 (on OS X 10.5.8).

Markus, is this something you might be able to take?  I know you've worked on this kind of thing in the past.

If not, I can take it myself.

I don't consider it urgent.

You're not alone.
