I have just upgraded to Firefox 29 and have managed to change the controls so it looks like the old version but I am unable to work out how to make the address bar and navigation buttons section transparent like they were before. Is there simple way to do this in Firefox settings or about:config or will I have to get an extension to restore this?

I tried the add-on but it made the navigation buttons transparent too so you could hardly see them and there was no separate setting to make the buttons properly visible.
