If I go to http://texturizer.net/firefox/themes/ and use the theme installer
overthere to install a theme which is stored on my harddrive. It fails silently.
The javascript console contains an error message that a script cannot access
local files. 

Then I tried installing it of an webserver installed on localhost. It then seems
to install but is immediately removed from the theme list. When I copied the
files to my public webserver it all of a sudden worked

What is the theme you tried to install?
How did you try to install it from local webserver (installtrigger, simply going
to the its URL or by using texturizer's tool?)
How did you try to install from a public webserver?

Is it reproducable, can you still reproduce it with a recent build?

this is related to bug 258811.

OK with Fx 1.0 it now works on a local webserver. :-)

Using the http://texturizer.net/firefox/themes/index.html still does not work
I get the following javascript error

Error: Access to
'file:////home/haitsma/Programming/gnomefx/src/GNOME-Fx-blue.jar' from script denied
Source File: http://texturizer.net/firefox/javascript/themeSetup.js
Line: 32

Maybe a safety measure that got taken???
