when it asks you to install it are you leaving the check box for use this theme checked? if so try unchecking it when you install the theme.

First of all, there's enough not-so-good press that we "stole a name". Second, we're using this tm mark as if we're pointing in their face saying, "Haha. We have legal rights no matter what you say." Also, what other program, if any, has a tm mark in their titlebar? It's fine in logos, but even M$ doesn't write tm in IE's titlebar. Then again, their are the links AOL somehow gets to your desktop that say "Install AOL Instant Messenger (sm)," but that's still not in the titlebar.
Also, for the record, I think it would look best to just write "Mozilla Firebird". It looks much more professional. We are past the "cookies are delicious delicacies" stage in development!
Hate to admit it because I really like the trademark sign, but you really have a good point here.
i had it do the same thing, except on 98%, when i was downloading tbe, but when i closed the download window, tbe was on my desktop and worked just fine (this was before fb help got straightened out, that's why i was downloading it to desktop).
I kinda have this problem for a couple of builds also allthough I haven't really considered it beeing a big one because it just seems like the download window needs a little time to realize that the download is complete; when it gets to 99% in the download window and 100% in the download windows titlebar it hangs a while before it closes. So for me its just a matter of a little patience.

Try reloading the page and if it still doesn't work, check your ua string.
Tried this build at work and oh wonder now it works flawlessly. No idea why though. Looks like it's fixed by the extensions guy because I get routed to another extensionspage. Thanks anyway, love this build sofar.
according to the latest checkins the name was altered to 'Mozilla Firebird' ... so stop arguing about the TMs and wait for the next build.... we'll see how it looks there
I'm having a similar problem downloading some files (a couple of .avi, but I can't remember the link)
When the progress bar reached 99% a beautiful "The aplication ... generated an error" window showed up.

The problem was earlier due to some sort of UA checking or verification by the Fb help site....djst fixed it so now it works with the new UA

Getting a lot of crashes, normally when loading a lot of images into tabs. Fresh install + directory. Haven't found a reproducable crash just yet, but i'll look into it. Also, the download bug still exists - Often the download window will stop updating at 90-ish %, yet the download does actually finish. This was mentionned on here recently, but i can't remember if there was a bug filed or not.
Managed to reproduce it - Find a direct link to an image (NOT a .html - it has to be the actual .jpg) and open it in a new tab. Before it completes loading (for example, 1/4 of the way down) close the tab (i do it by pressing the mouse wheel button - and i've only tested it that way, so you may have different mileage).
