 1) The main menu button (appmenu-button) is nearly same color as Firefox.
 This is confusing when switching between active Firefox & TBB.  A
 completely different main menu button color & different icon in TBB would
 make it easy to see which application is focused.

 Perhaps using a menu button background color like green (like Tor onion)
 or green / yellow combination.  Purple is a bad choice, because it's
 default for safe browsing mode in Firefox.  Changing the menu button
 background color (if not icon) is easy enough through simple
 userChrome.css code; or modifying source files.

 2) Change color / icon for TBB OPEN APP tab in task bar (Win) & similar
 for other OSs.  When both Firefox & TBB are open & both minimized (while
 using other apps, etc.), w/ same color & icon for TBB & Firefox __open
 apps tabs__, it's virtually impossible to tell them apart.  For me, this
 results in continually maximizing the wrong browser.

 Instead of the orange globe / blue fox icon in TBB, use completely
 different icon, such as yellow / purple onion on Tor project page.
 Example: A green / yellow onion icon is used on the Start TBB file, but
 once launced, the default Firefox icons are used.  As long as all TBB
 icons /colors are completely different than Firefox icons.
