Hello,

My Firefox browser has been just updated, and now I can't see inactive tab header text. Thats because I am using black color for windows in my Windows 8 OS (see the screenshot https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=7B6F4C0CAADD954A!2079&authkey=!AAvWsOMvcoRNyew&v=3&ithint=photo%2c.png ).

Can you suggest me ways to fix this issue?

Thanks, Vasily

Did you install a third-party Windows theme or did you simply change the color of the window frame in WIndows 8 without installing anything?

If you didn't install a separate theme, try adjusting the window color to another color, save, and then go back to black and that resolves the problem for some people.

Hi Matt,

Thank you for your response. Its a built-in Windows 8 theme (See the attached screenshot). A did not install third-party themes. Yes, I know that I can change this color, however I am trying to find a solution without changing it.
