Why is there is no colour difference in FF4 between an active and an non-active tab?

Tabbed browsing is one of the best features of Firefox. In previous versions the active or selected tab is a lighter colour than the non-active tabs, making it easier to navigate between tabs.

In Firefox 4 (Windows) all the tabs are the same colour. Installing the coloured tabs add-on does not help, because it relies on the shading that FF4 provides (or does not provide in this case).

There is a noticeable difference in Firefox 4 on WinXP. With other flavors of Windows I don't know.

I am using XP and I can see no difference.

I have gone back to FF3.6 because it is easier to see which tab is active and which tab I am about to select when I hover the mouse over it. FF4 is just dead man.  :(
