No clear difference between bookmarked and not bookmarked star icons in firefox

[seanh]

Hardy beta, firefox 3 beta 4.

The star icon in the URL bar that denotes whether you have bookmarked a page is not good. It looks almost the same when the page is bookmarked or not: a yellow star or a slightly different yellow star. For colour-blind users such as myself the difference is all but invisible.

Actually the not-bookmarked star is transparent, rather than yellow. When I visit some pages the background of the URL bar is white, and therefore the not-bookmarked star is white, and the bookmarked star is yellow, a clear difference to me. But for some reason the background colour of the URL bar is yellow when I visit some pages, making the not-bookmarked star look yellow.

In general if two icons have two different meanings, especially if they appear in exactly the same place, I think they should be differentiated by more than just colour for the sake of colour-blind users.

is this still a problem with the latest ffox 3? If so, this is best dealt upstream as its not a ubuntu specific issue. Please search in bugzilla.mozilla.org to ensure that your bug isnt filed; then open a bug in bugzilla.mozilla.org and post your bug id (or the one you found matching your issue) here. Thanks!

Hmm. Do you know why the background of the URL bar in firefox turns yellow for some pages, like I reported? Since I don't know any pages that will make it do that, I can't test if this bug is still there.

Have you sent it upstream? May you tell us the bug number? Thanks.
