When I open 1st window in FF top of the page looks usual - like this http://imagestun.com/hosting/kartinki/ff1.jpg But when I try to open something in a new window, this new window has strange color scheme at the top and no title, like this http://imagestun.com/hosting/kartinki/ff2.jpg

If I switch from window mode to full screen mode and vice versa everything gets to look normal.

I've used Classic Theme Reestorer addon, but the same problem occurs when this addon is uninstalled. Restaring computer, reinstalling firefox etc didn't help, I still get these annoying white letters in the main menu when I try to open 2 or more firefox windows.

Is there any way to fix it?

Chosen solution

Start Firefox in Safe Mode
While you are in safe mode;
Firefox Options > Advanced > General.
Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration. Then restart. If there is still a problem, go to Firefox Add-ons > Extensions and disable all add-ons that have anything to do with page display. Restart. If there is still a problem, disable more add-ons. Keep going until the problem is gone.

Thanks, I followed your advice and disabled everyting then started turning addons one by one. The problem was caused by Hola Unblocker, now everything is ok.
