The bar in which the new tab, close tab, x out, minimize, and full screen are located is totally blacked out, and I cannot find any of these controls unless I hover my cursor over them.

Make sure you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).

When you are in Full Screen mode, hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. You can use one of these to leave Full Screen mode:

  • press the F11 key
  • click the Maximize button at the right end of the Tab bar
  • click the Full Screen button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list
  • right-click empty space on a toolbar and click "Exit Full Screen Mode"

You can toggle the title bar on/off via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window
