When the window does not have the focus, we shift the Firefox button from being orange to being transparent glass. This is consistent with the behavior of the close button (which shifts from being red to being transparent glass). However, I think that we should keep the Firefox button orange for the following reasons:
-It will be easier for users to identify the Firefox window with their peripheral vision: there isn't a lot of color used in Windows 7, and the orange is a good visual cue for finding a particular background window
-Consistency with the file menu controls in office 2010, and other ribbon applications. These applications keep a solid color to identify the app (blue = word, green=excel), and this color doesn't change based on the application being focused. Now of course they aren't placing their controls in the title bar and on glass, but outside of control placement it seems inconsistent that we are losing our recognizable color and they are keeping theirs.
-There's a slight delay with the button switching states when the window gain or loses focus. We could likely fix this, but this change would solve that problem implicitly since we would never change state.

This is probably a dupe of bug 594367.
