Since update to Firefox 57.0 menus and tabs (beside the active one) are unreadable

Since Firefox updated to version 57.0 (64bit) the menus and all tabs that are not active are unreadable. The font is blurred and diffuse.

I found a recommendation to change the Theme to "light". That fixed the issue a short time. but as soon as I close the tab with the Theme settings everything is back to blurred. I opened the Themes settings again and they were still on "Light". I can change the Themes to anything and the menus and tabs are fine and NOT blurred, but as soon as I close the tabs where I changes the Themes the font is back to unreadable/blurred/diffuse.

I tried if a restart of the browser would fix that to no avail.

Any help appreciated.

I checked the Windows color settings and they are already deactivated. But I noticed that I can as well not resize the browser.  :-(

Yeah! That did the trick!  :-)

You are right, the colorful tab addon doesn't seem to work with the latest version of Firefox.

Thanks a lot for your help!!!
