Active Tab Opacity Doesn't Change

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Reproducing the problem:
1. Reset the Selected Tab colors to default 
2. Try to change the opacity

Expected output:
I expect the transparency to change (I'm going for the glass look)

What I see instead:
Before the opacity bar is moved at all, the color is white, once I move the 
opacity bar the active tab becomes black, but then doesn't change at all after 
that.

Do you still have the same issue with 2.1? Can you post a screenshot?

Okay, it is white to start with because it is using the system colours. When 
you move a slider it takes all the slider values. Your brightness was on 0 when 
you moved the opacity slider, which means it would be a transparent black. If 
you move the brightness slider, it will become a transparent grey (yours was on 
64% when you wrote your bug). Due to how selected tabs work in Firefox, only 
the bottom of the nav bar in tabs on top can be transparent. The rest must be 
opaque. This is a Firefox limitation.

So you should have been seeing an opaque, grey selected tab at the time of 
writing your bug report. Instead you were seeing a black tab?
