Firefox 28 is quicker and improved -- except that tabs on pages not being read are identical colour as the background and toolbar. Please revert to previous version or let me CHOOSE the colours.

hello, you can choose the colour with one of the various themes that are available: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/themes/

You can also look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.

Most of the add-ons for themes are not compatible with Firefox 29. So I looked at Classic theme restorer. Seems OK. at least on the smaller screens the tabs are not lost in the background.
