The menu bar and unopened tabs are currently the same color. They blend together making the unopened tabs difficult to distinguish. Even rounded corners might help. The light and dark themes also have this problem, as well as several other themes I've tried. I didn't like the ColorfulTabs either.

We need the Classic Theme restorer!

https://www.howtogeek.com/333110/how-to-customize-firefox-quantum-and-remove-the-white-space-around-the-title-bar/ Rounded , Here's a more comprehensive project which affects not only tabs but brings back the old "grid-style" options menu. https://github.com/axydavid/FirefoxUI/blob/master/README.md

It isn't completely possible to use the Australis design with Firefox 57, but depending on what you want, you might be able to customize the UI to look more like the old one: This project: https://github.com/wilfredwee/photon-australis lets you have the old tab bar appearance back in Firefox 57. You can remove the space around the address bar by right-clicking on the spaces, and choosing "remove from toolbar". Note the Black Theme is just a Example and can be found in Customize. Note that the line that designates the active tab is taken from your Win10 colours.

Sorry to take so long to mark this solved. What finally made it usable for me was https://github.com/wilfredwee/photon-australis with the additional code for shading tabs found in the thread. It's SOOO much better. Thanks for the tip.
