I am visually impaired, and due to v29 UI changes, I can no longer see the menu bar as it is hidden on the title bar. How do I move it back to where it belongs?
I have two computer at home, and upgraded them to Firefox 29 not knowing it contained heavy UI changes. I use the menu bar heavily, and it is now superimposed on the title bar, where due to visual impairment, I can no longer see it. Both systems have high-contrast colors turned on (white text on black background - forget about Aero and trick themes), and Firefox is configured to use the system colors.
Prior to version 29, the menu bar was white text on a black background. now it's on a colored background and almost completely invisible to me. Magnification is via the Windows magnifier and the magnifier added to certain high-end Microsoft mice.

As you can see from a brand-new virgin install of Firefox, no addons, no pre-existing profile, version 29 DOES put the menu bar on the taskbar. And Firefox, configured as I have it, on a system configured with High-Contrast colors (black in my case) turned on, Firefox is unthemeable.
But never mind, I solver this one myself. I booted into XP and used an un-updated Firefox to find a new addon named "Classic Theme Restorer". That did the trick. Mark this one as solved. But....
I wish developers (not just Firefox) who wish to fancy up their user interfaces would think about how it would affect the visually impaired. We use computers too.

Can you attach a screenshot of the problem? Which specific high contrast theme are you using? I notice no problems with High Contrast Black. Also, the title bar and the menu bar are separate and there's no way to merge them short of using add-ons.
Installing a theme (AKA lightweight theme, persona) is the simplest way to change the toolbar background.
