Summary
A new theme for Firefox that will use a new shape and styling of the active, background and pinned tabs.
Goal:
- current active tab to be emphasized
- smooth, soft and streamlined appearance
- soft curves will connect the Active Tab to the Tab Strip
- no visual affordance to background tabs except on hover
- subtle separators for background tabs
