Is the theme compatible to FF 1.0?

I got same message as this user.  I had loaded firefox and loaded several 
themes.  I applied a theme, but didn't get a change to the icons.  I closed and 
reopened firefox, but no change.  I loaded a few extensions and I thought I was 
to close and reopen firefox.  that didn't do anything so I rebooted.  Firefox 
has failed to start since then giving me the mentioned alert above.  I 
uninstalled it completely and removed the directory when asked.  I 
reinstalled.  Same error, so it doesn't appear to be the themes or extensions 
unless they are maintained in the registry even after removing.  I did have the 
pre 1.0 version installed before and 1.0 was installed into the same directory
