On my desktop, the Firefox toolbar area is an opaque beige color, making the text and icons in the toolbars easy to see and read. I installed Firefox on my laptop, and used Sync, and set the same toolbars. But on the laptop the toolbars are transparent; the desktop shows through and makes them hard to read.

How can I make the area surrounding the viewing area opaque?

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"
