Something similar happened on linux, only the theme changed from Modern to
Classic OK, but trying to switch back caused the browser to drop dead.

Chris, I just verified on windows 98 (branch build: 2001-0-07-13-0.9.1),
if you first time launch with Classic theme and then switch themes by selecting 
Edit > Preferences > Appearance > Themes > Classic.
It would not switch to Modern immediately. However, exist the browser
and relaunch it, then it does change to Modern though.
See bug 78580 and bug 81970 for further details. I think this bug 84789 is 
a duplicate bug of 78580 and bug 81970.

by selecting Edit > Preferences > Appearance > Themes > Classic.

New comments: if you first time launch with Modern theme and then switch themes         
by selecting Edit > Preferences > Appearance > Themes > Classic.
