Apparently the theme is being downloaded and executed instead of being
installed. If you left-click on the theme JAR, a dialog should appear asking you
to install it or not. If you download it you shouldn't try to execute it since
it will most likely be attempted to run by a JVM.
Unless you left-clicked it, I think this is INVALID.

Tim, we need more details. Did you download the theme or just install it from a
webpage? Where did you download it?

Assuming that you downloaded it and then double-clicked the downloaded file,
your issue is caused by the fact that themes are stored in .JAR files which are
associated with Java, not with Firefox. This is by design, therefore, unless you
installed from a webpage directly, the bug is invalid. In that case we need to
know what page you installed the theme from.

THE THEMES ARE TRYING TO BE INSTALLED FROM THE FIREFOX SITE WHICH LISTS
EXTENSIONS, THEMES ETC - SELECTED TO BE INSTALLED AS I DID WITH PREVIOUS
VERSIONS OF FIREFOX WHICH THEN INSTALLED WITH NO PROBLEM.?

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY.
