Title bar and tab colour

In most standard Windows applications, the title bar and tab colour follows the default Windows settings, e.g. (in my case) the title bar and tab colour of active application windows is blue. This is true even in Thunderbird. Since FF 89, title bar and tabs are something between white and light gray, which is extremely user-un-friendly. FF developer team should return to the previous colour scheme. Yes, I know the circumstances of free software but this is NO excuse to alienate millions of users. Developers that change fully functionable software just, well, just to CHANGE it should consider that they are doing WRONG. Could anyone tell them? I am just user, not developer and I am not willing to learn developer tools like BugZilla just for this simple guiding principle.

Chosen solution

"upgraded to FF88.0.1" ... *rofl*

@rgilbert, best idea ever. Just this moment I went back to 88.0.1 and this is exactly the UI that I want. Title bar, menu bar, tab colours: excellent. Bookmark spacing, _all_ menuitem spacing: excellent.

After uninstalling FF 92, they asked for feedback and I gave feedback. Hopefully there will be more users taking the opportunity to tell them they're wrong way.
