New FF update on iMac, tabs are very low-contrast - any way to increase that?

The new Firefox update awaited me this morning on my desktop Mac (OS Mojave). Unfortunately for an older person with eyesight that is not as good as it once was, the very low contrast on the tabs makes it very hard to quickly see which ones are up. I've searched but have not found any way to increase that contrast. And, one other thing, the old tabs had a very visible icon for sound (to turn it on or off in the tab). This new one is also very hard to see with less than terrific eyesight. Even just being able to make them a bit bigger would help a lot.

Thanks in advance if there is a way to restore these tabs to the previous version. And, if not, it would be really great if the awesome Firefox developers would keep in mind that some of us don't see all that well and give us some options to adjust for that.

xoxo,

Peaches

Hi

You can download a theme more to your liking from https://addons.mozilla.org which does have some very high contrast themes available.

I hope that this helps.

Thanks Seburo. But the issue is really not one of choosing a theme - unless there is a theme specifically for older folks with poorer vision. Maybe there is and someone can link us to it? The problem is that the new Firefox changes have made tabs, icons and text on the home page smaller and of less contrast. Please Firefox - address this and give us a solution.
