Hello,

I changed the Gnome theme, while Firefox was in the state that a
previous object was apparently still loaded - without any problem,
Firefox nicely changed its gui accordingly.

Since downgrading firefox is a bit awkward, doing the same with
firefox 2 from the same installation is a bit difficult. Instead, I used
a live CD to boot Ubuntu 7.04 with Firefox 2.0.0.3.
The behaviour was exactly the same: trying to play the next (mpeg)
object fails, changing the Gnome theme works as it should, without
crashing Firefox.

Kind regards,

Menno
