I can barely see the inactive tabs in Firefox 29. They are muddy gray, and hard to see. Can they be brightened a bit?

I can barely see the inactive tabs in the default theme for Firefox 29. They are muddy gray, hard to see, nearly impossible to read, and indistinguishable from the unused space for additional tabs. Can inactive tabs be brightened a bit?

Or can you recommend an add-on theme that will make the inactive tabs easier to see? Some of the other themes I tried aren't supported in Release 29.

Thanks.

Same thing here. I will try the colorful tabs option. Just a note to Firefox developers. It would be great if you would please get testing feedback from some "older" folks (ie: baby boomer age) when testing your new designs. I think there are more of us using your products than you think. Thank you
