<sigh> http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109607 Please consider the usability problems that already exist with Classic. Bolding to identify the active tab is the only cross-platform suggestion that's been made so far. Throwing a bunch of new styles in will only compound the problem. What are the chances something like you suggest can be restricted to Modern?
