Is there away to change the background color or icon color of the Open new Tab Plus sign icon? The background behind the new Tab Plus sign icon is transparent and when the white Plus sign icon lands on a desktop item with same the color you can't see the Plus sign icon. The solution would be to make a non transparent background so the white Plus sign icon can be seen clearly. The available color themes do not help.

The plus sign (A) should have square background box behind it. So you can clearly see it (B). Check picture.

Change your Desktop theme or the Firefox Theme you are using and see if that makes a difference as it looks like a theme is coming in from behind as per transparency.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Not actually sure what you mean by New Tab Plus sign icon.

I do know that in it can possibly take your transparency from the Theme you are running. Please change theme to test that please.

I do not see any Extensions listed as New Tab Plus please give more information. If it is a Extension then Firefox does not do support for a Developers theme. Contact them or go to their web site for the support page.

This Theme filled the transparency. Now the plus sign is black with a solid light blue background. The new Theme seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks.
