After a theme is changed in Deerpark, the browser will not load and shows an
error (screenshot attached) about a missing js3250.dll file.  After reinstalling
Deerpark Alpha 2, the browser loads with the new theme.  I tried going from the
default to another theme and from a custom to custom, and the same thing happends.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to mozilla update and install a new theme
2.Close deerpark
3.restart deerpark

Actual Results:  
Error message about a missing js3250.dll file and no startup of the browser

Expected Results:  
Deerpark restarts with new theme without needing a reinstall

very few themes are compatible with Deer Park builds

The error occurs when changing back to the default theme as well, so it is not
dependent on the theme, but the act of changing themes.

What theme did you install? Also js3250.dll is a core file, i don't understand
what this has to do with Themes.

I didn't know this was a core file, but the error occurs whenever ANY theme is
installed in Deerpark Alpha 2 on my machine.  I install a theme and then when I
reboot deerpark it gives me a missing js3250.dll error.  The only way to fix
this is to reinstall deerpark.  Then, the theme i installed works fine (Noia 2.0
is what I am using.)  The same error occurs if I try to revert back to the
Firefox Default theme.

Dionysios, does it still happen with the newest trunk build?

Related problem. With preferences set to "Warn me when websites try to install themes or extension", it wouldn't install (nor warn) http://mozilla-themes.schellen.net/firefox.html# (which is the Pinball theme). 

When I unclicked "Warn...", it did warn me and then install. This must be wrong.

please try to start in safemode
firefox -safe-mode
to see if this is a firefox problem or an extension problem
