I recently did a system restore, which meant I went back to before I had
installed mozilla. Prior to that, I had installed a skin I downloaded off the
net. When I re-downloaded mozilla, everything went fine. It even loaded the
first time. Any OTHER time I tried to load mozilla, it hanged. I figured out
that it was the fact that the settings were still pointing to that other skin.
Well, I reinstalled Mo again, and when I went to view > Apply theme, NOTHING HAD
A BULLET ON IT! So, I chose the modern skin, closed Mo, launched again, FIXED!

If I sound excited it's because I am. I was afraid the system restore deleted
somethng precious... Feel free to contact me.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mo
2. Download a new theme that doesn't come w/mo
3. system restore (start > programs >accessories > sys tools >sys restore) to
BEFORE mo was installed
4. With Mo uninstalled, reinstall
5. It will load after install, but any attempt after will cause it to hang.

Actual Results:  
Hanged. Only see the splash screen.

Expected Results:  
Reverted to one of the built-in themes. Maybe even a clever status msg.

No, I think it's pretty clear

Mozilla 1.7 beta seems to fall back fine if I remove a 3rd party theme.
