Привет! Я всегда использую много вкладок. Firefox удобен тем, что не загружает вкладки, пока я не обращусь к ним. Я хорошо ориентируюсь в их расположении.

После обновления до версии 57.01 изменился внешний вид вкладок (они стали другого цвета, темнее), в них стало сложнее ориентироваться. Как вернуть им прежний вид?
Также сильно замедлилась скорость прокрутки вкладок колесом мыши. Не скорость прокрутки страниц, а именно скорость пролистывания строки с вкладками (перемещения по вкладкам).
Какие параметры в конфигурации Firefox отвечают за внешний вид вкладок и скорость прокрутки вкладок?

Операционная система Windows 7 x64, тема оформления стандартная Aero.

Hi! I always use many tabs. Firefox is convenient because does not load the tabs until I turn to him. I'm well-oriented in their location. After upgrading to version 57.01 changed appearance of the tabs (they were a different color, darker), they became more difficult to navigate. How to return them to the previous color? Also slowed down the speed of the scroll tabs with mouse wheel. Not the scrolling speed of pages, and the scroll speed of the row with the tabs (moving tabs). What settings in Firefox's configuration responsible for the look of tabs, and the scrolling speed of the tabs? Operating system Windows 7 x64, the theme to the standard Aero.

The original color varies based on your Windows theme. That color might still show through in part of the tab bar that has no tabs on it. Or you might need to install a theme with the desired color.

You can check the 3 built-in themes (default, light, and dark) using the Themes button on the bottom of the Customize tab. See: Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars.

Also slowed down the speed of the scroll tabs with mouse wheel. Not the scrolling speed of pages, and the scroll speed of the row with the tabs (moving tabs).

This is set to be restored to how it worked before, but not until Firefox 58.

As a temporary workaround, you can try adjusting a setting referenced in this Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/73q8t0/how_to_change_the_tab_scroll_speed_in_ff_quantum/

That's:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste wheel and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y preference and increase the value from 100 to a higher value, for example 200, then click OK and test it out. Adjust as desired.

I haven't tested that myself (this system has Firefox 56 and Firefox 59).

Hi! Thank you for your answer! The problem with scrolling of tabs resolved editing the value of mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y. Screenshot of the appearance tab, in the versions of 56.02, and 57.01 attached. As you can see, 57.01 tabs become darker, and the font on them now is white. In version 56.02 tab was lighter and the font was black. The desktop background the same in both cases, it is also attached, just in case. I can change the theme to light, but it's not quite the usual look.

Possibly, it is worth reducing transparency of a line of tabs? There is such item of settings?

I realize this is not exactly the right shade of gray/grey but perhaps it will work for now or you can find another one on the site:
