Inconsistency in shadow and highlight in firefox android tab bar
As shown in image, Though the current tab is highlighted, a previous tab has shadow around it.
My setting: 143.0.2 (Build #2016116031), ae41fe4e0410af90d829e92b192065938fcd51e2 GV: 143.0.2-20250922120053 AS: 143.0 OS: Android 15
How to reproduce: Press + button on tab bar, then select any opened tab or enter a new site. The tab that is focused after this will always have shadow around. Then move focus to other tab without clicking + button. The highlight moves but not the shadow. edit: the tab that is focused on firefox launch also have the lingering shadow, untill you press + and select another tab.

Hi Sachio
Looking at this (thank you for the screenshot), it appears that this was done to bring added contrast between the active tab you are using and other tabs you have open.
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your reply. It might not have been intentional—since the highlight moves but not the shadow, it looks like there are three different tab styles. This screenshot shows it more clearly.
