All menus are text, there is no scrollbar, and all submenus are black text on
black background. I verified that Modern Grey was 1.0PR compatible and instaled.
I have removed Firefox, including all registry references and reinstalled - same
issue. Is this Firefox's safe mode? It is useless. Since I am unable to see the
menus, I have had to guess the vertical location of items in the menu. When
opening the Extentions window (there appears to be no 'Theme' window), I get
only a blank white box with three menu options at the bottom: Uninstall, Update,
Options. I cannot use Firefox until this is resolved - great product, but it is
very, very ill.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools->Themes->Modern Grey
2. Windows revert to behavior mentioned above.
3. Cannot break out to default theme.

Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
Should have sitched to Modern Grey theme. I've been using Firefox since v .7 and
love it, yet this has never before happened.
a new profile will fix this

Inability to switch to default theme in safe mode is bug 266637.
The theme is probably actually incompatible with either firefox pr1 or with one
of your extensions.

somebody should look into the theme to see if it is a theme bug of firefox's.

I'm getting no issues with either Pinball 0.9.9.2 or Gray Modern 0.6.1 (other
than the fact that Gray Modern isn't fully updated for 1.0 yet) in Firefox 1.0.
