This seems to be new in FF3b5.

According to my Windows XP theme, when I hover on menu bar items, the text should display in white with a dark blue background.  

Firefox displays the white text, but ignores the blue background, thus displaying an ugly white text on a grey background.  Not very readable.

I'll attach screenshots.

I can't reproduce this; the default theme displays the correct background color on hover. You could try out the following trouble-shooting options:

- Firefox's safe-mode to exclude extension/theme problems
- a new profile
- a reinstall in a new empty folder

I admit I'm running custom theme with a patched uxtheme.dll

This is the theme:

In the meantime, I'll try your suggestions.

Ok, problem disappeared in safe mode.

I think this might be some Stylish stylesheets that are messing with the colours.  Anyway, I'll sort it out.

It was indeed due to this Stylish stylesheet: Toolbars - Buttons Closer for Firefox 2.0

Disabled it, and now it works fine - thanks.
