Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 267035

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Dave]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

The GUI completely disappeared on restart.  The menus were text only, and
written all over each other.  The dropdown menus were all black.  Although
selections could be made from the black menus, the Themes option opened the
Extensions window.  All windows were completely blank!  This appears to be the
same problem described by other users at
http://update.mozilla.org/themes/moreinfo.php?id=75&page=comments and
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=154167&highlight=gui (screenshot
here).

After about 10 uninstalls, including deleting the registry keys and restarts,
the JavaScript console appeared, flashed 4 errors, then disappeared and the GUI
reappeared.  So wierd!  Such a horrible experience - I had to use IE!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ran software update from Tools menu.
2. Chose to instal Paintball theme (not sure which version - I've deleted it now
3. Restarted to take effect.  GUI gone!

Actual Results:  
See details.

Expected Results:  
Loaded as normal, with the new theme.

My screen looked exactly like that at
