I like to use the Colorful Tabs add-on, but it won't work properly. Colorful tabs says there is a bug with Firefox. Any chance it can be fixed?

The Colorful Tabs add-on doesn't work properly. A tab will only change color when I click on it, and instead of just the tab changing color, the whole top tool bar changes color and the theme picture I am using disappears. I have to disable Colorful Tabs and restart the browser to get the theme to come back, but of course the tabs are all the same (drab) color.

This is the message header when I look at the Colorful Tabs extension: "Let's try to re-color the tabs. Shall we? Currently only colors the selected tab due to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1320585".

Will there be a fix for this soon

Normally, the inactive or background tabs do not have a specific color when you use a lightweight theme, they are transparent. I don't know whether there is a plan to change that so they can have a specific color or multiple colors. That seems to still be under discussion, so definitely not "soon."
