Extensions work the same way, i try to uninstall and it says "this item will be uninstalled after you restart firefox" Also, pressing ctrl+U to clear the URL bar no longer works, it now brings up the "view source" window.. this behavior is different from 0.9.x Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.goto tools/themes and click on "get more themes" 2.download "noia 2.0 extreme" from the mozilla themes site 3.attempt to "use theme" from the themes window Actual Results: I was told to restart firefox, restarting didn't solve anything Expected Results: firefox should have changed to the new theme Portage 2.0.51_rc1 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.4.1, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r0, 2.6.5-PGLX i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.5-PGLX i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) III Mobile CPU 1133MHz Gentoo Base System version 1.5.3 distcc 2.17 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.90.0.1.1-r3 Headers: sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.22 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=pentium3 -march=pentium3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -mfpmath=sse -msse -mmmx -ftracer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/share/config:/usr/kde/3.3/env:/usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=pentium3 -march=pentium3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -mfpmath=sse -msse -mmmx -ftracer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://192.168.100.1/gentoo http://gentoo.blueyonder.co.uk ftp://gentoo.blueyonder.co.uk/mirrors/gentoo http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.uk.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X alsa apm bitmap-fonts chroot crypt cups dga dvd encode ethereal flac foomaticdb freetype gif gimp gimpprint gphoto2 gpm gtk gtk2 imlib imlib2 irda java jpeg mmx moznocompose moznoirc moznomail mozp3p mozsvg mozxmlterm mpeg mpeg4 mplayer ncurses opengl png qt scanner sse ssl threads tiff truetype xprint xrandr xv xvid zlib"
I've got almost the same problem. The only difference is when I got to install any theme I am prompted on whether or not I want to install the theme and when I click OK nothing happens. Also, Firefox 1.0PR does not appear to be storing cookies or my cookie preferences (i.e. always allow or always deny) and my left/right/up/down arrow keys are not working inside of text boxes (e.g. such as this one) in 1.0PR. I am currently updating my laptop (which is running gentoo-sources) to 1.0PR to see if it has the same issues.

I just fixed my problem by copying my .mozilla directory into .mozilla_backup then deleting the .mozilla directory and starting Firefox. When Firefox prompted me on whether or not to import settings, I choose to import settings. This restored my bookmarks, however all my themes and extensions were gone. I tried reinstalling Noia eXtreme 2.77 and it worked like a charm. Cookie settings are being remembered and my left/right/up/down arrow keys are working again. Don't know if this will fix your problem. I definately recommend you backup the .mozilla directory before you delete it, though.
This is a problem of profile corruption between versions of firefox. I've tried to workaround some of it in recent versions of mozilla-launcher, but unfortunately it's ultimately something to be solved upstream. It's not a fun thing to do, but when this occurs: quit from firefox mv .mozilla/firefox .mozilla/firefox-$(date +%Y%m%d) firefox
