I just upgraded to FF12 and then I changed the personna to something very basic like Vista Blue. What I noticed is that when I use certain softwares, e.g. FileHippo checker when it finishes checking and then switches to it's result screen I get a momentary weird looking screen appearance just before the result screen pops up. Doesn't happen all the time, but, it also happens with other softwares like VueScan. Never saw this before. Must have something to do with the personna, because when I disable the personna and go back to the default personna everything works like it always has. Can someone explain what I'm seeing? Thanks

What kind of weird screen appearance do you see?

Is that only in the user interface (toolbar) part of Firefox happening or does it affect the browser window as well?

It happens when I open the FF browser from my desktop and for that matter any other software from my desktop. It happens momentarily just before the browser completely loads. It must have something to do with the alternate personna/theme I added, because, when I disable that add on weird screen appearance disappears and it's like it was before. Has to have something to do with loading a theme add on.
