I am using default theme in Mozilla and today the address bar has changed colour from light blue to windows blue and the arrows and home button are white instead of black. Since I didn't do anything intentionally and don't want it to appear that way, how can I reverse it? Funnily enough the address bar when 'Help' is open looks the usual way.

Hi Jscher,

Thank you for taking the time to look at my question. I have managed to sort it out myself after a bit (well, quite a bit) of tweaking around. It appears that I have unchecked the 'Always show the tabs bar' under Options/Tabs and that has made the whole address bar section transparent like the windows, and the buttons next to it white instead of black. After I checked it again, everything went back to normal.

Another user reported a similar changes, but in that thread we didn't get to the bottom of why the theme seems to be behaving differently.

icons changed from black to white w/last update (14.0.1) - any fix?

Could you post a screen shot of your toolbar area?
