In firefox 1230 I can't see which tab is active because it has been improved. is that such a great idea -I know it makes us fiddle around for longer and if that is the intention then no one will want to change it except me.

Chosen solution

Thanks cor-el, solved the problem. I chose soft cosmos ;-) and I can now see a nice bright green ring around the chosen Tab, essential for when working on a macBook-air in the sun.... And this add-on/themes area is fairly new to me but good to see all the offerings. You restore my faith in community work. Transparency is the goal, isn't it ;-)

I don't want to use'coloured tabs etc as this apparantly then steals my data. Can we not just fix this so that the active tab is highlit? It is not rocket science after all. Or do you advise to install Opera as I want to get moving and not waste any more time?
