while in firefox history, I pressed the windows key.. and the windows start menu popped up. Its just that when I did the same again, I noticed that the topmost history title selection saying google.co.in changed to grey colour(see screenshot) when the start menu popped up. Last time it remained blue I think. Is it fine? I just wanna know if pressing the windows key while in firefox history change anything with the firefox history items? (and the search history given in the screenshot is the latest one, I cleared all the previous history so first time's history is not there in the screenshot)

The color of the selected item bar changes when the window switches between being the active window (blue) and a background/inactive window (gray). There are lots of ways to make that "Library" window a background/inactive window, so it's not specific to the Windows key. If you experiment, can you confirm that's what's going on?

There can also be a color change if you initiate a Cut action, but have done a Paste yet.

When I click the windows key, I can see that the topmost selection in the history list turns grey

Hi, if you have this turned on in Windows 10 Show or Hide Status Bar in File Explorer (option 1)

Once activated open 2 Explorer windows and click on one then click the other. You will see the one you click or working in top bar changes colour and when click on the other it will change and so will the other.

Same principle in Firefox. It changes colour when it is the active window.
