253733 - The Firefox Theme Manager should have an Install button for themes

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 247821

Description

[Bradley Chapman (not reading bugmail, still gone but not forever)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040727 Firefox/0.9.1+ (MOOX-AV)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040727 Firefox/0.9.1+ (MOOX-AV)

Thunderbird's Theme Manager has a button that allows you to install theme JAR
files from disk. I have created an extension called Install New Theme, or Themer
for short, which provides this facility for Firefox. I think it should be
integrated into Fx's Theme Manager.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on the Tools menu.
2. Open the Theme Manager.
3. Observe the lack of an install button.




Unless there are plans to hook into the browser code that detects XPI files
opened via the File->Open File dialog and allow JARs to be interpreted in the
same way, having this extension would allow people to back up the JAR files on
removable media and then install them from disk, without having to download them
again.
