Toggling gfx.xrender.enabled didn't work for me. Same problem. Just started
happening sometime in the last week or so. Url field is a uniform black while
the search field on the same toolbar is normal. If I double click in the field
to select the text there it becomes visible If I press "home" or "end" to bring
the cursor to either end of the line it gets black on black again. This really
sucks. If somebody forks Firefox and makes a commitment to stability I'm out of
here. This "bug du jour" business is getting really old.
Firefox 36.0.4
Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty, 64 bit, built from the mini.iso without all the glitter
crap.
Plain Openbox, no further DE.
Nvidia graphics card.
AMD cpu, I forget the model, but dual core anyway.
4 giB RAM
I have 4 themes installed. The problem occurs on 3 of them:
Default
LCARSTrek
Penguin
It does NOT occure on one:
Metal Lion Australis
but that theme ignores much of my customisation of the toolbars and has
absurdly awful colors.

Bug description:
On an old pentium 4 machine with i386 Upgrade to firefox 29 by sudo apt-get
update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. Then close any open firefox and restart
it. I get a firefox dark gray and black bar in the address bar showing up in
all pages. on firefox 29 with the new interface. This makes it impossible to
see what website you are currently on in the address bar.
If I open a new tab the adress bar appears blank and I can then enter the
text. I am also unable to copy the current address bar with this black bar
which can make sharing links difficult. This bug is not present on my
