what bothers me most is that they made the whole top part (including title, menu bar etc if you choose to enable it) transparent. I personally just find that horrible.

Here is a screenshot comparing FF 3.5 to 4: http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/12/500x_firefox4.jpg http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/12/500x_firefox... (3.5 is right)

Arguably, having the menu visible is not the default setup, is it? The default fold-out "Firefox" menu simply doesn't have that issue and is not transparent. I agree it's a problem in Thunderbird, which has a menu by default. I think that if you try to tweak Firefox 4+ to look like 3.6 you're going to run into suboptimalities. It evolved. I think that if you get used to the changes, they're actually changes for the better (new menu giving more vertical room, tabs-on-top, etc).

  If you tap the Alt key, the regular old menu comes up. It's transparent.

Enable the menu bar and disable tags on top. Then install a plain persona like this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/white-glossy-look/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/white-glossy-... It's not exactly like 3.5, but it's not transparent anymore.

  I did that and installed a couple of extensions that add old functionality and Firefox now crashes pretty much randomly
