Try reproducing with 1.0 - I think you'll find it's been fixed.

However, we probably should redirect the old links. Could you give more details
about the links in question?

Ok, according to
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&file=pref-themes.dtd&branch=&root=/cvsroot&subdir=mozilla/browser/components/prefwindow/locale/Attic&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&rev1=1.9&rev2=1.10

the old link in Firebird 0.6 points to http://texturizer.net/firebird/themes.html 
which redirects to http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/themes.html (which gives  
a 404 error)

We can solve the problem here of course and add another redirect, but IMO the 
redirect should be fixed at the source. CC'ing djst for this.

However, where should it redirect to? UMO is still not finished nor is it
official approved AFAIK. CC'ing some people who might know something about this.

Uh, we've been using update/addons.m.o since 2004-05-10:
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/locale/extensions.properties&rev=1.13&root=/cvsroot&mark=16,17

I don't think we need to support pre-0.9 versions of Firefox; 0.9 was released
2004-06-15.
