I tried this with the Smoke theme for Firefox on the 20040604 branch build, and it just crapped on me. So, I wouldn't suggest that route.

I had the same problem with Orbit Bronze. I also tried Smoke, which installs, as Orbit Bronze now does, but I can't seem to use either of them. This was on the June 3rd build (.zip). Glad it's not just me ; )

A more complete answer as to why 3rd-party FF0.9/TB0.7-compatable themes are presently installable but unusable may be found here:

fishbert, I'm not sure that's the complete answer? I can still install and use the Sky Pilot Classic theme without any problem.

I'm not saying this as self-promotion, only that its odd that it seems to work while others don't. I do not have an answer to it, sorry....

A "more complete" answer... not a "complete" answer. =)

Okay. Someone once told me that the worst thing that could happen when one first tests their stuff on a new system is that it passes.

I've got this gut feeling that Sky Pilot Classic may just be seeming to work at this time. I'll need to keep a close eye on it as 0.9 progresses.

People need to report any themes that are not fully compatible to make this list as accurate as possible.

by "fully compatible" do you mean 'those that have been packaged correctly for 0.9' or 'those that we can actually use today'?

Themes that can install ok basically. Newer builds of Fx have removed the older theme interface so if a theme installs or not has become more obvious.

Maybe it's just me, but I canot get any of the themes listed in this post as being compatable with Firefox 0.9 to install. They all produce a pop-up saying:

Java Virtual Machine Loader

Failed to load Main-class manifest attribute from [filename]

My build ID is:
