The one I'm currently using is pretty much just a different icon set, it really doesn't do anything noticeable with the layout.
I also read about a mildly amusing easter egg in Firefox 3 that is accessed by placing "about:robots" in the address bar.

Cute.
Re Theme, same here ... I just like a minimalist icon set, nothing too cartoonish.
Aaanyway, I have a problem, and the Mozilla support forum is backed-up, to say the least. Maybe someone here can help... I'm on XP.
There are five extensions that perpetually say in the Add-ons/extension list "This extension will be installed when Firefox is restarted", no matter how many times I restart Firefox, or reboot my computer for that matter: ChatZilla, Delicious Bookmarks, Forecastfox, Foxytunes, and PDF Downloader.
Also, on the right of the Add-Ons GUI, there is a entry under the "Installation" tab that perpetually says "Chatzilla - Restart to complete the installation", again no matter how many times I restart. (The other jonny-come-lately's aren't on there...)
They're compatible; they're updated. Other extensions did install on restart. The "How to Install extensions" FAQ entry doesn't mention anything. So I'm stumped. Does anyone have any idea?

Uninstall and then re-download them.

Can't do it through FF as I get the same problem trying to uninstall it. Doing it manually ... oh dear, "Cannot delete file: data error (cyclic redundancy check)".
Google is telling me I have to delete these through the command line. Edit: no dice there.
It's also advising me that my harddrive is probably getting fubar'd. :erm:
Edit: Next bit of advice is to run a disk repair. Trying that ... Any advice what might be best?
I'm seeing "chkdsk /r" ... see you guys next week. :(
Edit2: well that lets me delete it ... not fun if my hard drive is going, though.

Just found this:

A protracted war between authors of two of the most popular add-ons for the Firefox browser has prompted calls for changes in the way extensions are written, after one of them admitted he added camouflaged code that disabled features in the other's program.
