This is frustrating and I cannot find a way to remove this ugly transparent white overlay on my toolbar. I much preferred my toolbar matching the persona that I had equipped.

Thank you for trying the new Firefox. We’re sorry that you’re unhappy with the new design.

Here are a few suggestions for restoring the old design. We hope you’ll find one that works for you:

Firefox is a work in progress and your feedback is very important to us. Our support community is run by volunteers who work hard to help all Firefox users, but we can’t make changes to the design ourselves.

That helped me to move the tabs back to where I normally prefer them but did nothing to fix the transparency issue that I am having.

What I am disliking intensely is the semi-transparent white background that the toolbars and tabs all have. How do I remove it?
