I just installed Firefox 4 and when trying to install tool bars, the tabs and site screen move down and I can see my desktop (blurry) in the background. The tool bars are also semi-transparent and when I add tool bar items by dragging them up to tool bar area, they are almost invisible. Seems the background is missing above the tabs. I also attempted to create and name a new tool bar and add the items to it, but cannot because it does not show up anywhere in the list or on the screen. Where does it go?

There are four options in Windows 7 at the bottom of the screen, choose "Window Color and Appearance".
