Altering the AccentColor registry file outside of a color range that Windows does not support by default causes Firefox to have graphical glitches. The window either flashes when you try to maximise it, or there are defects on the edges.

(The reason I'm alterign the registry file is so that my TitleBar in windows can become truly black, while retaining the colour schema in start)

The regkey is located at: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM

hi lunarwolfspirit, this is the same issue as discussed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1524515 you'll basically also have to specify the alpha channel in the AccentColor registry property for this to work in firefox.
