You can revert to the Default theme (Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

See Use themes to change the look of Firefox and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Themes (Lightweight theme)

It sounds like you have a Personas installed (a light weight theme). Try switching to the default theme, for details on doing that see using themes with Firefox.
