This will, all things being equal, open your system's file browser at the correct location.
• Once in the profile, create a new folder called chrome
• Navigate in to the chrome folder and a blank document named:

Signature Transparency

Alter the 'opacity' value to your liking. Test it here - http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/tryit.asp?filename=trycss3_opacity_js

Create a folder in your profile folder called 'chrome' and then create a file called 'UserContent.css' with the following...

/*
 * Disable TB22 style transparency
 */
.moz-txt-sig, .moz-signature {
  opacity: 0.5 !important;
}

• Restart.
