Bookmark items added by "Bookmark All Tabs" are displayed in gray when reached from the Bookmarks toolbar button. Why?

This picture shows my question:

In contrast, when the same folder in the above picture is opened from the "Show All Bookmarks" menu or the Bookmarks sidebar panel, the bookmark items are normally displayed in black, not in gray.

I've got it!

It's the preference extensions.tabutils.bookmarkAllWithHistory used by the Tab Utilities extension. When the value of that preference is true (which is the default), you get the grayed-out bookmark items, which actually can work.

What's the purpose of the gray color? I don't know. I've just ask that question in a mozillazine thread maintained by the author of Tab Utilities.

Edit:

Today the author of Tab Utilities replied:"Yes, the gray color is intended. What other color would you suggest? You may also style it with css."

Edit 2:

The author of Tab Utilities also provided the following userChrome.css codes to change the color from gray to blue:


   .bookmark-item[history] {
     opacity: 1.0 !important;
     color: blue !important;
   }
