Ever since some genus decided I needed to UPGRADE Foxfire, I can barely see the menu bar at the top. When I want to view my bookmarks, I have to GUESS where the put my pointer because the contrast is dark grey, nearly the same as the black outline.

This sucks. I need a REAL browser.

First I suggest you upgrade/update to the latest or most current version of Firefox which is version 10.0, your version as reported is 9.0.1.

See: Update Firefox to the latest release

Please reference the following KB support article to regain menu bar visibility.

Maybe. However the problem began when some genius decided I needed to upgrade. Menu bar and browser WAS fine. What new disasters are in v. 10 and why can't I use what works ?
