I updated my Nvidia GeForce 460 to version 347.88. I also had a Firefox update on March 13, 2015. Now my Back, Reload, Bookmark, Home, Hello, and Menu buttons will not show up. My tabs are blocked out, and I don't have an New Tab nor Exit button on them. My Exit button for Firefox is about half normal, can still see the Min/Max and other half of the Exit button, but it seems shaded.
