After upgrading from firefox 28.0-1 to 29.0-1, I get a completely corrupt toolbar such as in the attached snapshot (much better than a description...)


Additional info:

Is it fixed if you reset the toolbar settings to default? It might be caused by some addon you have.

I'm afraid not. Restoring all the toolbar settings to "default" AND disactivating all my addons / extensions, do NOT fix this.

you can try with a new firefox profile : run "firefox -p"

I have simillar issue with toolbar after upgrade to firefox-29.0-1 , kernel 3.14.2-1-ARCH.
I tried extreme Pacman -Syu , I even create a new user with a new profile to be sure there is no any old settings. Of course also did Help->Trouble->Restart Firefox and tried disable hardware acceleration in Firefox settings.

My first problem after update firefox was that urlbar text was a black square. Copy&Paste worked so text was there, no any error in console. So I decided full update in pacman.
Then urlbar text in firefox is now transparent.
I tried to enjoy then with userChrome.css to force color and only :active CSS works ... all others states have transparent text, background color is adjustable.

Do either you have the same problems if you try the Firefox from the Mozilla website: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

Yes. This same problem with official repo from Mozilla.
During typing URL address i can see the text , it disappears when page will finish load or mouse hover.
I suppose the problem is somewhere in gtk2 event compatibility and/or a new ttf font is used .

I also tried to shuffle GTK default theme, also urlbar formatting in about:confi.
In DOM inspector I see Centrall font but i suppose that not focused urlbar is using something different from ~Gnome not being in package deps.

I did rollback to FF 25 and it works fine, so something new appeared in FF 29-0-1. I will just wait for a new release ;-)

I'm afraid I won't have time to try and test Mozilla website: I will be leaving on travel very soon for a place where I will have no access to electricity, let alone the Internet ;-)
Besides that, I'd love to find the previous package to downgrade (x86_64 version plus firefox-i18n-fr) for I had stupidly "yaourt -Scc" my system, so I have no backup of the older version...

Using extra/firefox 29.0.1-1, the problem is still there.

However, removing completely my ~/.mozilla allows me to get a "brand new, uncorrupted Firefox".

Unfortunately, I had planned to restore my settings using "Firefox sync", but it's been a massive upgrade and Firfefox sync has been upgraded as well without backwards compatibility, so you need to create a new account and cannot restore from the legacy one...

So let's start from scratch with a new Firefox... :-\
