The browser toolbars, windows, everything is invisible. I only get the border of the window. This is more than just missing toolbars - there are no toolbars, no minimize/maximize/close icons, nothing but the window border.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
