Turn off FF going dim when FF window is inactive (not in focus)

more options

How do I turn this odd feature that dims FF bars when window loses focus? As of look of it only tabbar and toolbar are affected. I couldn't find anything relevant under "about:config". Also some tricks with CSS didn't work for me, maybe because I have custom chromeCSS that brings tabbar under bookmarksbar and applies other customization so that FF window looks like old good FF before they started to put everything on a single line in the bar. Thanks in advance.

Okay, so I managed to figure this out in my particular use case. This is what stops menu bar and tabs toolbar from fading when FF window loses focus:

  1. toolbar-menubar:-moz-window-inactive, #TabsToolbar:-moz-window-inactive {
       opacity: 1 !important;

}

Some report it worked for them with "*|*:root[tabsintitlebar] #titlebar:-moz-window-inactive" or "root[tabsintitlebar] #titlebar:-moz-window-inactive", though it didn't for me.
