With this new version, 29.0.1, it has become difficult to read background tabs due to transparancy

I would like to either be able to adjust the amount of transparency or just turn the transparency off.

I do not want to add add-ons, as I believe they slow things down. Also one of the add-ons to restore this version back to the last version puts the square tabs back, and I like them rounded...

Finding it unusable, so am having to use Chrome at the moment... :-(

Please fix this!

With most add-ons, it will take a few more milliseconds to start Firefox when you first start your computer. In other words, there's no noticeable impact on performance.

  1. Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
  2. Next to Classic Theme Restorer, click the Options button.
  3. On the Main tab, in the top left corner, choose "Curved tabs (alternative)". Close the options window when done.

It's more complicated without an add-on, but if you insist…

  1. Go to Brighter background tabs - Australis - Firefox 29 | userstyles.org.
  2. Click the Show CSS button.
  3. Copy all the code to the clipboard.
  4. Launch Notepad and paste the clipboard contents in a new file.
  5. Save the file as "userChrome.css" — including the quotes — on your desktop.
  6. In Firefox, type about:support into the address bar and press Enter.
  7. Click the Show Folder button.
  8. In the Windows Explorer window that opens, create a new folder called chrome.
  9. Move the userChrome.css file into the chrome folder.
  10. Restart Firefox for the change to take effect.
    • If you already have a userChrome.css file, add the new style at the bottom, and make sure the @namespace line appears only once at the top of the file.

Excellent! Thank you. :-)

Still think that they need to review this feature in the next version... :-(
