I've got two issues that I have a hunch are tied together -

  1. 1:

Firefox 3.6.13 won't accept a new theme - any theme. I've done a full uninstall/reinstall, launch in admin mode, uninstall the themes, uninstall the themes from safe mode, and done a complete nuke (deleting profile directories, all info under appdata/programdata, etc) and reload, and see the same problem. It's always on the default theme.

  1. 2:

Color overrides aren't working. I use a modified high-contrast theme in Windows 7 (not using Aero Glass) with black window backgrounds. Even though I've turned on "Allow pages to choose their own colors" and turned off "Use system colors" (and tried every combination thereof), and tried specifying background colors within FF, I get no results. It still uses the system background and font colors.

cor-el -

Thanks for the suggestion. It's certainly saving most other preferences, just not activating themes or using assigned colors.

I closed FF, deleted prefs.js, and tried again but got the same results. I know it deleted the prefs as when I reopened firefox it took me to the default start page, which is not what was configured previously. I have no user.js file to test. I'm also not running any of the mentioned AV software.

Ultimately the problem remains. Look forward to any more suggestions -

Thanks.

If you use a Windows High Contrast theme then that theme may override themes and color settings that you make in Firefox. So you may need to switch to another Windows theme.
