How do I stop ALL tabs from going dim when Firefox is not the active WINDOW?

I think I have read every single post about changing active tab colors, etc, etc. However, where I am frustrated seems to be a little different.

When Firefox 31 is not the active WINDOW the whole tab bar goes grey (just like the title bar) and the only tab I can read the title of is the active tab. I need to be able to see ALL tab names.

I don't want to use any add-ons. I just want a simple userChrome.css or about:config option. I have other UI complaints, but this is the only one I care enough about to do anything about. It is making me less efficient, confused, and frustrated.

Can anyone please help?

Figured it out (finally):

.tabbrowser-tabs .tab-text { color: black !important; } .tabbrowser-tabs .tab-text2 { color: black !important; }

Thanks. I think I'll adjust to everything else, I was just freaking out that felt like I was missing functionality.
