Attached is the image of the title bar, regardless of the theme is used, this doesn't change. I would also like to remove the two additional built in themes which are not user removable.

Windows 7 SP1, 32 bit with Firefox 53.0.2

Thank you both for the information.

About the title bar being messed up, after opening FF in safe mode the title bar displayed correctly. After that, using it in normal mode the problem cleared up.

As for the extra themes, I am fine with them, it just caught me by surprise that now, the standard installation consists of three possibilities.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?


What is it you want to emove?

Thanks for the reminder about the safe mode. In safe mode the title text color is black as it should be. Now, what would cause this strange change in normal mode?

I do have a userChrome.css file wich I have been using as is for years. Its contents are:

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);

  1. PanelUI-menu-button { display: none !important;}
  • {
   font-size: 14px !important;

font-family: sans-serif !important; font-weight: 500 !important; text-shadow: none; !important; color: #000 !important;

}

/* Bookmarks sidebar: hide "Search:" */

  1. bookmarksPanel > hbox

{ display: none !important }

  1. sidebar-title[value="Bookmarks"]
   { 

visibility: hidden !important; }

/* #sidebar {max-width: none !important;} */ #sidebar { max-width: 250px !important; min-width: 75px !important; }

/* Navigation bar */ #nav-bar {

 	-moz-box-ordinal-group: 1 !important;

}

/* Personal toolbar */ #PersonalToolbar {

 	-moz-box-ordinal-group: 2 !important;

}

/* Tabs toolbar */ #TabsToolbar {

 	-moz-box-ordinal-group: 3 !important;

}


In the Add-ons Appearance section, there are now three possible built in themes. Default, Compact light and Compact dark. Must I have all three?

Only one theme is used during a session. The others are there if you want to use them.


I looked at your System Details, and I don't see anything that would effect how the browser displays.

It might be the theme you were using. Try another theme. Is there still a problem?

The current Firefox release comes with two built-in themes (Compact Dark and Compact Light). You can't remove these two built-in lightweight theme (Persona), but you can hide them with code in userContent.css.

@-moz-document url-prefix(chrome://mozapps/content/extensions/extensions.xul), url-prefix(about:addons) {
  richlistitem[value="firefox-compact-dark@mozilla.org@personas.mozilla.org"],
  richlistitem[value="firefox-compact-light@mozilla.org@personas.mozilla.org"]{
    display: none !important;
  }
