249312 - switching theme causes page and url to blank and navigation and close tab buttons to stop functioning

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 226791

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[econn]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040630 Firefox/0.9.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040630 Firefox/0.9.1

Beginning with Firefox 0.9, whenever I use the theme manager to change the
browser theme, all open tabs become blank and the URL fields become empty, and
the navigation (forward/back) and close tab buttons cease to function. The home
and reload buttons still work, and I can still navigate to other urls by
entering them manually or using the bookmarks. Any new tabs opened after
switching the theme behave normally, and Firefox behaves normally after restarting.

This looks similar to but 168442
(http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168442) but I don't think it's a
duplicate as it involves the theme manager rather than customize toolbar.

I'm not sure if this is a FreeBSD-specific problem, but I don't have Firefox
available to test on any other operating systems.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Navigate to a url
2.Optionally, open other tabs
3.Switch browser theme from the theme manager

Actual Results:  
Theme changes, but all open tabs and url fields become blank, and 'back' and
'close tab' buttons for those tabs cease to function

Expected Results:  
Theme changes, contents of open tabs are unaffected.

occurs when switching to any theme, even the default.
