I just installed Firefox 4 and when trying to install tool bars, the tabs and site screen move down and I can see my desktop (blurry) in the background. The tool bars are also semi-transparent and when I add tool bar items by dragging them up to tool bar area, they are almost invisible. Seems the background is missing above the tabs. I also attempted to create and name a new tool bar and add the items to it, but cannot because it does not show up anywhere in the list or on the screen. Where does it go?

See:

Right click in a free space on your desktop.
Left click on Personalization.
There are four options in Windows 7 at the bottom of the screen, choose "Window Color and Appearance".
Select a border color
Uncheck: "Enable transparency"
