Description

[Rick Friedman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030816 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030816 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+

I am able to change the theme Firebird uses from the default "Mozilla Firebird"
theme to another theme (any other theme which I have installed). However, if I
try to change back to the "Mozilla Firebird" theme, I receive messages stating:
"You have selected a theme which was designed for an earlier version of Mozilla
Firebird and is incompatible with your current Mozilla Firebird version. Please
check the Mozilla Firebird theme park for an updated version of the theme. You
can uninstall this theme by clicking "OK" button."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools -> Options -> Themes
2. Change theme from "Mozilla Firebird" to any other theme
3. Shutdown Mozilla Firebird
4. Start Mozilla Firebird
5. Tools -> Options -> Themes
6. Change theme back to "Mozilla Firebird"

Actual Results:  
Error message was received stating:

"You have selected a theme which was designed for an earlier version of Mozilla
Firebird and is incompatible with your current Mozilla Firebird version. Please
check the Mozilla Firebird theme park for an updated version of the theme. You
can uninstall this theme by clicking "OK" button."

Expected Results:  
Theme should've changed back to the Firebird default theme.

Works for me using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b)
Gecko/20030825 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+

Please try installing into a new directory and creating a new profile, using the
MozillaFirebird.exe -p switch, and report your results here, this has fixed it
for others, including myself.

a clean install of the nightly build exhibits the error (preferences deleted)

* open the preferences windows
* select themes

the "mozilla firebird" theme is selected and the text below states that it is
incompatible.

Details:

Windows XP
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827 Mozilla
Firebird/0.6.1+

Duping this, should probably have been the other way around, but the other bug
has confirmations and better information.
