It's exactly looking as it's supposed to look for now. Pls see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1320585

Currently there's no way to correct it.

David: It took a few years to implement those in the original version. Now we are back to square one.

ColorfulTabs version 32.1 should fix the dark background issue. But it is not compatible with any theme.

[Shivanand Sharma]

Version 32.1 should fix it. Released just now. Currently ColorfulTabs uses the Theme api so it doesn't allow for other themes.

Sukki, it's a brand new extension. The new update has controls for saturation and lightness / brightness / luminance. Also I hope it fixes the dark background issue that some have reported (though I don't know which OS they were using).

@Walter: It a Firefox bug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1320585). We are just trying workarounds at the moment.

@Jayne: ColorfulTabs wouldn't work at all until this Firefox bug is fixed: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1320585

I'm lucky we got it to work at all. Currently we can only color the current tab. Thanks to Patrick for coming up with an innovative idea.

@Steve: Will fix this in the next update. Thanks for reporting.

[Shivanand Sharma]

@John: It's a re-built of ColorfulTabs from scratch. Basic functionality only. Options etc. coming soon.

[Shivanand Sharma]

@sukki: Just use the mouse wheel when your mouse pointer is over the tab-strip.

[Shivanand Sharma]

It's only meant to work on Firefox 57 and later.

[Shivanand Sharma]

Everyone on Firefox 57 should receive an automatic update. Thanks to Patrick (https://www.addongenie.com/forums/users/patrick_kern) for his suggestion, I got it to color the tab using the theme api. It will grow from here. I hope it's a start. Thanks so much everyone for your patience.

[Shivanand Sharma]

Thanks so much Patrick. I updated ColorfulTabs to be compatible with Firefox 57. Not quite the same functionality. But I think it's a start. Pls see: https://www.addongenie.com/forums/topic/update-for-use-with-firefox-57

[Shivanand Sharma]

That's awesome Patrick!

[Shivanand Sharma]

I've just created a version compatible with Firefox Quantom 57. The new version will have to be installed manually. Please visit https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/_colorfultabs/

The support is partial but it's going to see rapid updates in the coming days so make sure you install it and don't miss teh autoupdates.

Here's a screenshot and a quick video demo. Please do report feedback and bugs.
