I can see that URLs are "hidden" in the Firefox29's address bar, just like in Ubuntu 14.04's case. If you have this problem, go here (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fxchrome/) and install FX Chrome theme and you'll see your address bar again.

Just ran into this after installing LL to someones computer. Very strange -- the address bar is blacked-out, but search bar is fine. Here is screenshot:

Applied the theme noted above and it did fix issue, but seems to me there should be a way to fix without having to do that. Does anyone know what might be the setting in about:config file that might need changing to get rid of the problem? Or maybe any other solution that I am missing?
Just in case it matters, here are specs of computer this happened on:

Hi Gold_Finger.
Does this work? I have no way to test.
To fix in Firefox 29:
type about:config[Enter]
Promise to be careful
In the Search Bar type gfx.xrender.enabled
Right-click (F12) and Toggle to make it false
Exit Firefox. Open Firefox again.

Thanks Scott(0),
That does look like it would work. Next time I have access to that person's computer I'll give it a shot.
@mirco67,
Sorry, I forgot to thank you for posting the FXChrome extension solution. Needed a quick fix yesterday and that worked -- so was happy you had posted that before. I just thought something like that shouldn't "need" an extension, which is why I posted above.

Update:
Had opportunity to test fix posted by Scott(0) late yesterday. It worked perfectly! So, either the FXChrome addon or the direct editing of about:config will fix that issue. Thanks again to both mirco67 and Scott(0).

@Gold_Finger
:) Good to hear it's working. Figure the community owes you at least a couple fixes for all the help you've put out there.
