202850 - When switching between themes, Mozilla Firebird clears all windows

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Brian Kerley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030421 Phoenix/0.5+

When I switch from any theme, including default, to any other theme, excluding
default, all of the tabs have the URL changed to about:blank.  Current tab
retains URL, so clicking the go button or pressing enter would reload that page,
but the other tabs' URL's change to about:blank.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools->Options->Themes
2. Select a theme and press ok.

Actual Results:  
Window closed, and address bar retained the URL, while the page itself went
blank (white).

Expected Results:  
Leave current page and simply change the theme look.

Currently mozilla requires a restart of the browser for the themes to change.
This would allow one to continue browsing without losing information.
