firefox theme
 

hi ,
i have a problem like this :
i tried to install new firefox theme and seems that the one i choose is for higher version than the one i have ...
and the problem is that i didn't get error message but after installing it , i get my firefox with no bottons and wordes written one upon the other and so i am not apple to change the theme from the browser it self ... ?! and so the question is how can i change the current used theme with another downloaded one ... using the command line ... !!??????

thanks a lot in advance ..

Hi mohama
To start Firefox with all the extensions and themes disabled, you must start it in safe mode:

/path/to/firefox/firefox -safe-mode

Then you can uninstall the bad theme and choose another one.

hi ,
did you mean to switch to the .mozilla folder and run the mozilla-firefox with -safe-mod flag ..??
because if yes ... this didn't work ??

thanks ,

how to run the mozilla in safe mode ???
muhammad-sameer,

You must use the directory where the executable binary 'firefox' is, not the .firefox directory which contains your profile.
(eg. on my machine /opt/firefox which gives the command:
/opt/firefox/firefox -safe-mode)
If you don't know where it is, do a search on your hard drive:
under root login:
find / -name firefox

Or tell what is the Linux distribution you are using and how Firefox got installed.

first thanks for helping and answering my questions ...
well , i could run the safe mode but after choosing the themes under tools , the use theme button is never active and clicking uninstall does nothing even this button is active ... and the themes are faded ..

thank you very much indeed ,
muhammad-sameer ,

To have the uninstallation completed, try to restart Firefox in normal mode after clicking the theme uninstall button in safe mode. This seems to work for Fx 1.0 version and higher.
What version do you use?

hi ,
i use mozilla-firefox 1.0.6 under mandriva 2006 , i get it with mandriva , and i didn't install it ..!
-- and i tried what you said , but it does not work either ..!?
thanks,
m-s

I guess that I cannot go further to help you.
Do a search at the Mozilla site
or the Mozilla forum
Good luck.

thank you .. ! :-)
