761196 - Active tab indicator in tab dropdown is way too subtle

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 713449

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Philipp von Weitershausen [:philikon]]

The little tab-like dent that indicates which of the tabs is the one currently shown is way too subtle.

Consider viewing several pages from the same site. It is not too uncommon that their thumbnails look very similar to indistinguishable and the first few words of the page titles are also the same. Now let's say you want to clean up your tabs and close the ones that you're not viewing right now. Or you want to switch between them.

I found it impossible to tell which tab was currently active until I stared at the screen for a while and only then realized that there's a little tab-like dent in the thumbnail of the active tab. Compare and contrast with desktop Firefox where subtle differences in borders and background colours are used in a way that's immediately recognizable.
