The UserStyle that you are using may need to be modified for Firefox 31 compatibility.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

thanks for the replies @cor-el: yes, the problem seems to be extension related since starting it at safe mode removes the gray bar. unfortunately changing it to default theme only changed its color to white lol (with stylish turned on)

@the-edmeister: i think so too, but im not really well versed in creating my own userstyle codes and i only copy pasted mine from an article on "how to change your newtab background" which was meant for firefox 13 oddly enough that code was working fine until this last update

if you could kindly help me find an updated userstyle that would be most helpful

If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.

Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

Look thru what's available at User Styles. https://userstyles.org/styles/browse?search_terms=new+tab+page Looks like dozens of different "styles" for about:newtab.

Better yet, if you can give us the name / number of that User Style one of us could tell you how to edit it to fix it for Firefox 31.
