Are you using specific code in userChrome.css to move the Tab bar (I'm not seeing this bar in your screenshot) and possibly make other changes to the navigator-toolbox area or use extensions that make such modifications?

Those rules may have side effects. That line is either a border or a text shadow. See this file for CSS code for this area:

  • chrome://browser/skin/browser.css

The bookmarks and tabs are underneath, not shown in the picture.

I've never customized the UI manually, but I have been using Classic Theme Restorer ever since the Google Chrome revamp.

I could possibly fix this myself if I could find any CSS files to edit -- should I copy this browser.css somewhere and let it override the built-in one?

Also, can I possibly use the Web Developer and/or Firebug style point+click interface to locate the UI elements? I'm not very good with CSS, you see.

Sorry I can't help you myself, I am still using Firefox 28 while I try to Customize the 29-plus versions without resorting to using CTR. I have tried it, but I prefer doing my own "cobbles" rather than rely upon an extension that "restores" much what I didn't like about Firefox 4.0 thru 28 and overrides what I do like about Australis. IOW, CTR 'fixes' things about 90% opposite of what I would do, if I had the talent to do a "retro extension".

IMO, the orange Firefox button was the worst thing that Mozilla has ever done to Firefox. The Menu bar worked fine before Firefox 4 came out and still does, it just doesn't have be showing all the time = Compact Menu and its' derivatives over the years was the 'ticket' for me starting from before Firefox was even named Firefox.

Okay, so apparently style customizations go in userChrome.css and userContent.css in ${mozilla_profile_directory}/chrome.

As for the black line,

 #TabsToolbar:not([collapsed="true"]) + #nav-bar {
   border-top: none !important;
 }

(userChrome.css)

gets rid of it, though not the gray line it leaves behind nor the gradient of the navigation bar. (Both are fine for me, and I'm much happier now that I know how to tweak the UI)

For the sake of reference,

 chrome://browser/content/browser.xul

gives me an inspectable rendering of the UI (though the original one, without my overrides)
