For pages having alternate stylesheets but where there is no base stylesheet (eg, a lack of a stylesheet without a title attribute), the style sheet selector does not display 'No Theme' but instead only displays 'Basic Theme' along with the titles of the other themes on that page. This is incorrect - such pages do not have a base or basic theme/style to speak of. Moreover, selecting 'Basic Theme' does what 'No Theme' usually does - completely strips all styling from the page, whereas on pages with both 'No Theme' and 'Basic Theme' the latter just strips the styling of the alternate stylesheets but not that of the untitled base theme. At present, Asa's blog is an example of such a page. I'm also going to attach a pair of test cases.

This test case is like Asa's blog. 'Basic Theme' in fact displays 'No Theme'.
Last one, I promise. This is how most pages with alternate stylesheets appear, where selecting Basic strips the alternate styling but not the base styling.
Encountered this myself working on my page. CSS sheet naming and interactions are confusing enough without the browser misleading users and developers.
dupe-proofing with what I was searching for before I resorted to regexps.

I have a fix for this bug (I think), but I have the impression that there has been some discussion of {changing|removing} the alternate stylesheets UI in firefox prior to 1.0. Any pointers to that discussion would be much appreciated. I feel strongly that this UI is needed in some form and I have more ideas for improvements that I'd like to make. However there seems little point in going to the effort of looking for reviews if the feature dies in the next week.
James: bug 253722 Fixing this bug will probably help in keeping the functionality.
Depends on: 253332

Seems to have been fixed by check-in for bug 253332. Let me know if it's still a problem.
