Details

If a user sets extensions.checkCompatibility to false and then installs a theme, when Firefox comes back up with the new theme, it will come up offline. Looking under the "File" menu will show that "Work Offline" is checked. Unchecking it returns the browser to online mode. If the extensions.checkCompatibility value is not set (the default), then installing a theme does not cause this issue. If it is checked, switching themes also does not cause the issue. This was found in the RC1 with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051202 Firefox/3.0. This does not reproduce on Windows XP so this seems to be a Linux only issue. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create fresh firefox profile on windows Vista. 2. Do about:config and create new boolean variable called extensions.checkCompatibility 3. Set it to false 4. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1360 and install the ugly theme. 5. Restart when prompted Result: Firefox comes up in offline mode when it returns with the theme set.
