Change TAB colors

I have tried several themes but the TABS are always greyish with a darker grey text. I find that very difficult to see, and I do not have a vision problem. I saw the suggestion to use the High Contrast settings in Windows, so Firefox would use that also, but that's not what I want. I just want to be able to change the tab colors.

Use a Persona

  • Personas are Lightweight skins applied to the top and bottom of the Firefox window. Support for Personas is built in to Firefox 3.6 and higher. This article explains how Personas work.
  • Using Personas

Check and tell if its working.

Nice idea, but even with a basically WHITE persona, the tabs are GREY... some darker than the default. Other colors just make them darker... never lighter.

Try using a Persona and see if it makes a difference.

Thank you Cor-el! Being able to customize the text and background colors is exactly what I wanted. This addon has a few other features I intend to explore as well, but for now, this problem is solved! Thank you!!
