Does this only happen with the theme in question?  A bad theme can cause
problems, but this is not a bug in Firebird, it is a bug in the theme.

Hmm, I retryed with download a fresh build and deleted my old profile, I tryed
using the Modern instead, it wouldn't switch. So I downloaded my favorate
Mozilla theme Pinball, seems to work perfectly. Except that I can't switch back
to Firebird's default theme because Firebird keeps saying it's ment for an old
version.

So my guess is that it was an combination of a bug in Firebird(switching back to
your orginal themes, not recently download ones) & Christmas Theme(bug in first
switching to it)

filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
