I am not able to select _no_ theme from the list, how do you do that?
(the uninstall button should be disabled in that case)

The button is not disabled. I can click on it.

ok, I'm seeing this now after creating a new profile (yes, this reveals a bug
instead of fixing it like usual :-))

The issue seems to be: the application doesn't identify the currently selected
[default] theme correctly and thus doesn't select any theme from the list. This
shouldn't occur since there has to be an active theme -> we have an incorrectly
activated uninstall button.
The chrome.rdf file in the profile seems to be related to this problem, it
simply doesn't list the default (classic) skin until we install another theme.
[that's why it did not happen with my old profile]. Maybe this is the core of
this bug.

This also happens in Mozilla but I did not find a bug so far. Maybe someone from
the devs knows a appropriate duplicate...?

-> invalid.  The themes pref panel was removed in favor of the themes
manager, which correctly disables the uninstall button when a theme is not selected.
