Is there a way to get rid of the white/highlighted look of the bookmarks toolbar?

more options

Before, the bookmark tool bar matched the same color as the theme, but now it is covered in this greyish white haze and I would really like to change it back if I could. I have played with several options and can't seem to get rid of it.

Based on a couple other threads, there is a reduced transparency of the toolbars in Firefox 44 (semi-opaque or translucent appearance), but the specific coloration varies between operating systems. Probably someone will post comments on how to restyle the bars using a custom style rule, but I don't have Windows 8.1 handy to experiment with myself.

Or a "Swiss Army Knife" customization extension like Classic Theme Restorer may be able to modify it now, assuming you don't mind managing its dozens of settings.

The following is based on testing on Windows 7, so other versions may vary.

You can apply custom style rules to Firefox's interface using either:

As an example of a style rule for this purpose:

(A) Suppress Firefox 44 gradient toolbar background except on hover - a bit flaky

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul); #navigator-toolbox:not(:hover) > toolbar:-moz-lwtheme {   background-image: none !important;   box-shadow: none !important;   border-top-color: transparent !important; }

(B) Suppress Firefox 44 gradient toolbar background always (example screenshot attached)

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul); #navigator-toolbox > toolbar:-moz-lwtheme {   background-image: none !important;   box-shadow: none !important;   border-top-color: transparent !important; }

If you have not used Stylish or userChrome.css before, you'll probably want some additional guidance, but dinner beckons...

Edit: added the missing links.
