Description

[Eric Schwartz]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

I start up Mozilla Firebird, it uses the happy newfangled theme, I am happy.

I'm reading mail (with Mail.app), and I click on a URL.  When it opens the new
window with the URL in it, it looks like Netscape 4.77 or so.  Ack, ick, ugly!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Mozilla Firebird, start up, ensure it's using nice clean new theme
2. open Mail.app (I believe this will work with any, but I verified with Mail.app)
3. click on a URL.
Actual Results:  
The new window used the old theme that looks like ancient netscape. :(

Expected Results:  
Opened the new window using the existing theme.

Nothing useful seemed to work in the Netscape-ish window; I typed in various
URLs into the Location: bar, and hit Enter, and nothing happened.  I clicked on
various URLs in the toolbar, and none of them worked either.  Neither did Bookmarks.

I can't believe this isn't reported already, so if I missed it, I apologize.
