119216 - Importing some themes can render Moz completely unusable.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 105596

(SeaMonkey :: Themes, defect)

Description

[Ken Johanson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221
BuildID:    2001122106

Importing some themes, such as those on the provided URL, may not be thouroughly
'testing the validity of the theme' be fore actually importing it. The 'America'
theme on the above URL loads, but when the browser is restarted, a vague
acknowledge pop-up message appears, then the browser GUI aborts loading, so
users are not able to revert to a know working theme.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Backup your Mozzila profile drirectory.
2.Install 'America' theme from http://home.netscape.com/themes/6_2/index.html
3.Restart Moz.

Actual Results:  Pop-up message error message, browser wont restart---Sorry
guys, I only have it at home and am not daring enough to try it here at work.

Expected Results:  Possibly revert to last-used theme if there is *any* problem
with installing/testing a new theme?

This may become a way for malicious web sites to render readers' browsers
unusable, if they install bogus themes from that site.

Netscape Themes are incompatible.
NS6.2.1=0.9.4

Please only install a theme for yozr current browser version.
(www.xulplanet.com for new Mozilla skins)

You can rapair your profile if you delete all files in profiles/chrome
(You loose all additional Themes and language packs)
