bugs in other themes should be reported to the theme authors

On Windows XP using 0.9 build from 20040622

Theme switching is breaking the back forward buttons.  The particular theme
doesn't matter.  I switched to the Firefox default and found the buttons
inactive.  Had to restart to make them work again.

mconnor, are you sure about this? I've seen this bug too, and I don't think its
invalid. The bug 226791 doesn't mention this particular issue at all. I'd like
to see this reopened, confirmed, and perhaps blocking bug 226791.

This bug could possibly be a dupe of bug 245327.  But that bug doesn't mention
the forward/back buttons either. Anyway, this IS a bug in itself.  Also, it
looks like bug 226791 has become somewhat of a meta bug for dynamic theme
switching in Firefox. I am reopening and marking this bug blocking that.

This is a dupe of bug 245327: it's covered by the "disables their history" part
of that bug. No page history results in the back and forward buttons being disabled.
