I just installed the 2005-08-02 build, and the test page WFM now, on both my
default profile and a new clean profile - no extensions, no themes.

?" Ed Hune... i am sorry you think like this with a profile manger built in you could import and export themes you like and dislike. you could easliy have 2 versions of Firefox installed.

Please read the bugwriting guidelines before filing another bug. FWIW, launching Firefox with "firefox.exe -P" will bring up a UI for the profile manager.
