Using FireFox 10.0.2, when I try to bookmark a page, why is the bookmark pull down menu faded?

I can provide a screen shot of the problem if it will help. I also uninstalled 10.0.2, went back to the 9.0.1 version and this occurs too. I checked all options and I could not find anything that would change the background of the bookmark menu. I did find that if the web page had a dark background, the bookmark pull down menu was visible but not visible on a white web page.

I've included a screen shot of the faded bookmark pull down menu.

Try to disable hardware acceleration.

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Thank you cor-el for the response. I tried disabling the "hardware acceleration", shut down Firefox then restarted and get the same results. I can see the pull down menu well when there is a dark background. I may just have to wipe the system, reload the o/s then reload Firefox. Do you think it would help to load an earlier version of Firefox?
