i had 2 versions of firefox on my desktop, so i deleted the older version....wrong. it was the one that had all of my bookmarks, themes, and plugins, so i had to start all over. i got most of them back on but now when i get to my browser with my customized theme, the whole top is solid even though the screenshot of the theme i downloaded shows the address space and search space to be white. the tabs lines are also hard to see. if i remember right from quite a while ago, i had to change something in about:config to get the address bar and search bar to be white and for the tabs to be a different color than the rest of the toolbar. i'm using 76.0.1 (64 bit). see screenshot below

Hi  !

Go to 3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Add-ons => Themes and choose the Light theme.

'Hope this is what you were looking for  !

that doesn't solve my problem. all that does is change the whole them to the light theme instead of the custom theme. the custom theme i use (painted shells) shows the address bar and the search bar spaces to be white, but when i installed them, they are the same color as the rest of the toolbar and are hard to read. please look at the screenshot to see what i mean. i want to keep this same theme, but i want the address bar space and the search bar space to be white
