The passive tabs on Firefox 29 are much too dark!

The dark gray background doesn't provide enough contrast for the title of the tab, so it takes an extra moment to read it. That's a time-waster and a nuisance. Is a fix in the works?

winsbury, I am just another Firefox user, not a Developer and have not closely followed the bugs, I did however see one for Firefox for fix to a problem with Ububtu, and IIRC another about contrasting toolbars on Windows.
Personally I would have thought it was not an ideal design and against accessibility policies to deliberately make tabs disappear into a background without being easy to reverse. I will tag this as escalate. Let's see how HelpDesk staff respond.

  • The browsers for my applications are much too big

    A certain cat walked across the keyboard of my macbook pro and now the browsers for my applications are much too big.  I am unable to scroll all the way down.  i tried the standard "command +/-" but it isn't working.  Please help!   Here are two screenshots, the first in iMovie and the second in Word (i just installed the 2011 update but am unable to get past this screen because i can't scroll all the way to the bottom.)

    no problem.  Also, if you go onto Displays in system preferences, you can select the box in the bottom left, which will then put a display icon in the top right so you can click it and quickly change the display resolution back if such a problem happens again without going into system preferences.

  • Installed Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6. A lot of my photos are much too dark now and the colour is not right. Any fix available? I did a backup prior to the new installs.

    Installed Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6. A lot of my photos are now too dark and the colour is way off from the originals. Any suggestions to correct this mess. I did a backup prior to installing Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6.

    Check the monitor settings in the System/Displays/Color preference pane.  You may have to change the color profile used or calibrate the monitor. 
    Also check the System/Accessibility preference pane to see if the Increase contrast checkbox is checked. If it is check it and see if there's any improvement.

  • Prints are much too dark

    I have just received prints of several landscapes that looked great on screen. Prints are real disappointment as much too dark, although still really sharp and colours OK. Views are all JPEGs from iPhoto 5, converted using iPhoto from Canon RAW - have just transferred a couple to a PC and the PC image is much like the print - too dark. Have tried adjusting brightness on PowerBook screen to same as print, but print is darker! Anyone experienced this - and what is the fix?

  • Hp D7360 photo prints are all too dark or red tinged

    every single photo we print we have to manually adjust settings to get it to look like the camera took it and the monitor shows it. they are always too dark or red toned. we do most of our printing in kodak easy share, i've changed color management from rgb to adobes and application manage and i printed from windows and fax viewer the only diffrences are the degree of darkness, is it impossible to just print them without fixing everyone!!!  help

    A cannot read all the tabs because the tropical beach scene background at the top of my firefox screne is too busy with dark objects like palm tree trunks. How can I change the screen background so I can read my tabs more easily?

    She must have signed into her own Apple ID on your iPad in order to sync her content from iTunes so try this and see if it works.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. See if your ID is showing in there and if it isn't - tap on her ID, sign out and then sign in with yours.
    You should not be syncing to to different iTunes libraries. The iPad can only sync with one iTunes library without erasing the the content on it if you decide to sync to another iTunes library.

    iPhone 4S photos on the info tab of iPhoto are 3,1Mpx. How I change the camera to 8Mpx?

    Zoom out.
    There are not settings to control the image quality, the device always takes the largest image possible.  Zooming in will cause the image to be a lower resolution.

  • Photoshop saves JPEG images much too dark--any ideas?

    Hi there, I'm having an issue with my Photoshop applications and I was hoping someone could give me a little insight/help in fixing the problem.
    When working with a file in Photoshop (I am an artist, so I usually create my files from scratch rather than loading them from a camera), I can get the colors to appear as they should in the workspace. When I finish artwork, I make sure the colors are exactly as I want them, then save it as a JPEG file. However, if I open this JPEG file in any application--browsers, photo viewing programs--it is extremely dark and saturated. If I open the JPEG in Photoshop, though, it looks fine. This issue seems to have occurred spontaneously 3-4 months ago. I don't recall changing or deleting any of my monitor or video card preferences, or my color profiles. I was working with Photoshop Elements 4.0 at the time, and it suddenly started happening.
    Now, I have found a sort of work-around for it. If I screencap my workspace with the artwork open in it, then I can open up that screencap in Photoshop. The colors are much TOO bright and washed out when I do this, but if I crop the image so it's just the artwork and save it, then it displays in browsers and viewing programs more or less as it should, i.e. how I see it in Photoshop. However, if I open that JPEG in Photoshop, it will display much brighter than the original artwork.
    It's not a desperate issue since I have this weird work-around, but I'm currently trying to save images for printing--which means they need to be very large, and I'm not keen on zooming to 100% and screen-capping the art piece by piece, then stitching it all together before saving it. I'd really like to get this issue resolved. I thought it might have to do with the fact that I was using outdated software (PSE 4.0), but I've just recently upgraded to CS5 Extended and the same issue prevails.
    If it's any help, I'm working on an HP EliteBook 8740w, with Windows 7 and an NVIDIA Quadro video card.
    Here are the things I've tried, which haven't worked:
    Deleting Photoshop preferences/settings (in both PSE 4.0 and CS5)
    Uninstalling and re-installing both programs
    Re-calibrating my monitor
    Changing color settings in Photoshop (files still end up dark regardless)
    Disabling OpenGL Drawing
    Switching between file types when saving
    I am at my wit's end! I am mostly concerned that my clients and professors aren't going to see my work as it is intended to look, when they view it online. The erratic behavior of too-dark or too-light, and my pictures seemingly never displaying correctly on any browser or in any program, has me a little paranoid about my online portfolio, haha. I'm applying for an art scholarship in a month, and if none of my work will save correctly (much less print correctly!) then it will be a sad day indeed!
    As I said before, this problem seems to have popped up out of nowhere. My artwork from before the whole saving-too-dark issue began still displays perfectly in most programs, but the rest is totally hit-and-miss. If any of you have fixes or suggestions (even suggestions on adjusting Photoshop so that my images display more consistently in browsers and other programs) I would be extremely grateful.
    Thanks so much for your time,
    -Jenna

    Though you have solved your problem, be aware, that different applications have different ways to interpret color profiles that can be set in different ways.
    Example:
    In Firefox, you can either set a color profile or not -- AFAIK, it only works with v2 ICC profiles (vs. v4, v3 seems to have not been released).
    From that point, you can set perceptual, absolute, colormetric, or one other...(forget)... but usually you just set that to perceptual for monitor work as I understand it.  Then a 3rd FF setting (all in its registry, of course, though occasionally there are extensions that let you manage the three settings.  They correspond to values (accessible through 'about:config' in FF's address window), all under the prefix:
    "gfx.color_management."
    "display_profile"  -  text string of file containing a v2 ICC profile, usually in "C:\Windows\System32\Spool\drivers\color\" (at least on Win7) -- extention ".icm"
    "mode" -- when to turn it on (2=for pics that have profiles set, another is for always (1?)), maybe 0=off?
    "rendering_intent" - this corresponds to perceptual, abs, colormetric, types, I think 0=perceptual (default)
    for FF, if you google one of those values, you'll find more info on some mozillian-type site... "prefix<keyname>" (e.g. -  gfx.color_management.display_profile ).
    Other progs may have their own or if we are lucky would use the system profile & color management system (assuming it is any good).
    Getting an accurate monitor profile and keeping it updated as your monitor 'decays' (i.e. color is usually best when new, then they decay, w/useful life at max gamut ~ 18 months (in my experience), after that, you can still retune to the same white point, but with a loss of gamut due to the phosphors decaying at different rates).
    It's best to use some sort of external calibration HW... -- as an external device looking at your monitor through it's various colors is the only way to get a 'digitally objective' measurement.  That said, I always have concerns about the stability of the measuring device over time.  Does it have components that  that could cause non-linear measurement?  Am guessing not as likely, as it isn't emitting anything so less wear & tear, but I wouldn't assume it's 100% accurate over time either (but certainly is better than one's own eye which can gradually adjust to just about anything).  I had a viewsonic when I first got my current color device (a Spyder3), and it had gone from an original white point of 6500K down to 5700K -- and I had not noticed the difference (over 18-20 months)...
    I could bring it back in range, but had lost gamut, and was a bit below the sRGB (consumer grade) standard (which is some fractional
    value of the Adobe Photoshop or NTSC standards, which are similar in the size of their ranges, but slightly offset from each other).
    The result of all this -- I never really know how my images will look on other monitors, but I try to tag them w/my current monitor profile, hoping that if they care about color, they'll have some SW on their end that can make sense of it...but given my own experience in how SW on the same system handles color differently, I wouldn't say they were 'high hopes'... ;-)

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
