231411 - themes will not install or show up in theme list in preference pane

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jennifer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040116 Firebird/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040116 Firebird/0.8.0+

When attempting to install a thirdparty theme from the themes page linked to via
the UI preference pane, the theme will not install. Clicking on the install link
(and making sure that "use this theme" is selected) will download the theme and
give a success message, but the theme is not switched to and cannot be set
manually as only the themes that were installed with the application are listed.
(The default theme doesn't look like the thumbnail in the prefs for the default
theme, but that's another issue, probably.) Need to install a different theme to
be able to use Tabbrowser Extensions, which does not function in the OS X
version of Firebird.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit theme download page and select a theme compatible with build
2. Click install link
3. Theme is not set and does not appear in preferences UI

Same bug was observed with Firefox version 0.8 for Windows, running on a PC with
Windows ME.
