How do I get the orange glow back for unread background tabs?

When a background tab in firefox has been updated (i.e. a new email in a gmail tab), there is a glow around that tab.

The new firefox update (29) has broken the use of the updated tab glow for me.

Before the update, the glow was bright orange and encompassed the entire tab, now the glow is tiny and white and barely visible with poor contrast against the tab colors making it not stick out at all. The point of the glow for me is so that I notice it without looking directly at it. This is broken with the new white glow that doesn't even glow on the entire tab as its not noticable anymore.

Any way to get the orange glow back for the updated tabs like previous versions of firefox?

Firefox is customizable. If you prefer the old design, switching back is easy

Thanks, I already have that installed.

But that does not cover the question/problem I'm having. If you think it does, please show me where that specific option is.

Just go through the link that i've given and follow the steps. But it will not work because you've already installed it .

I've done that. What step returns the orange glow to an unread tab? I do not see that in any step or any settings of classic theme restorer.

Have you tried add-ons ? You need to install it first .

Yes I've tried add-ons. But just telling me to install add-ons does not answer my question either. Do you have a specific add-on that will fix the problem I've asked?
