269761 - Corrupted theme prevent Firefox from starting

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 266161

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Steve "Bug Hunter" Erwin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

After installing new themes, and switching to one, Firefox then failed to load.
 The message was "Error: unable to bind to XPI" (or X something).  Uninstalling
of Firefox failed to fix the issue, removal off all Firefox files from the
system was neccessary.  This caused the loss of all themes, extensions and cache
data (forms, passwords etc).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
I have not tried to reproduce it (as I lost all my associated Firefox data, so
be careful if you attempt it).  I believe (but not certain) the new theme I
attempted the restart with was SphereGnome 0.9.9.1.  I installed/removed a
number of extensions during that one period.
