Given how often Firefox updates I think there's a chance of any 'fix' being out of date before it's released

There is some sort of conflict between WindowsBlinds and Firefox!

Here's my workaround I was able to figure out that allows me to use WB & FF without missing the title bar window buttons.

This is Firefox version 33.0 with WindowBlinds version 8.06 on Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit

Instructions:

0.) If you excluded Firefox in WindowsBlinds you should remove the exclusion as your skin will work with FF.

1.) Install Firefox add-on "Classic Theme Restorer"

2.) Create a file named "CTRpreferences.txt" and paste the data below into the file and save anywhere you want.

CTR_Preferences__DO_NOT_EDIT__'='->booleans__':'->strings__'~'->integers
tabs:tabs_squared
tabsontop:unset

3.) In Firefox goto your add-on page and click on the option button for add-on "Classic Theme Restorer".

4.) On the Classic Theme Restorer config window click the bottom left button "Settings" and select "Import preferences".

5.) Now you need to point to your saved file "CTRpreferences.txt" and select open.

6.) Classic Theme Restorer is now configured!

7.) On the Firefox address field type    about:config    and enter.

8.) Confirm with the warning by clicking the button "I'll be careful, ..."

9.) A long list appears with all the internal settings of Firefox. Search for the preference name line "browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar". 

10.) The value has to be set to "false". You can double click on the line and it should change over to false.

11.) If you have FF menu bar turned on you might still see an issue with the background in that case you can turn off the menu bar and try using the icon "Open menu" next to the home button to get to your menu commands.

Hope this will help some of you dealing with WB with FF tabs and title menu bar not being displayed correctly.

Perhaps someone will find a solution for the menu bar line to show the correct color instead of being transparent.

Any update on a real fix with a new version of WindowBlinds?

There is a build awaiting QA testing next week which contains modifications for Firefox 33 onwards.

Thank you, Neil.

This solution works. Thanks.
