I have visited thousands of sites with no problem until I visit this particular site "http://www.zooweekly.com.au" (I had Vista Aero color scheme enabled at this stage). When the page has loaded a bubble pops up in the vista notification area saying "The color scheme has been changed to Windows Vista Basic. A running program isn't compatible with certain visual elements of Windows. Click here for more information." I am then left with the Windows Vista Basic color scheme, but when i close Firefox the Windows theme changes back to Aero. After clicking on the bubble for more information i was presented with small window saying "The following program has performed an action that requires Windows to temporarily change the color scheme to Windows Vista Basic. Program: Firefox Publisher: Mozilla Corporation Process identifier (PID):4360".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Firefox
2.Type URL http://www.zooweekly.com.au
3.Wait for page to load

This just started happening to me without error in 3.6.6.  Will happen on random sites though.

Happens to me frequently too.

Notebook Dell Inspiron 1720, Vista Home Premium legit (no cracked)
video card: GeForce 8600M GT

I have to close FireFox and restart it to have Aero Theme back applied to the window(s).

Nearly impossibile to determine what triggers the switch, maybe some Flash, maybe Taskbar Shuffle or UltraMon, I don't know.
