I’ve tried this twice now, and after restarting, it opening and then crashes while the bar at the bottom shows its still up. I’m using Windows Vista, Firefox 3.0.1 and I tried the Aero fox and Aquatint Black Gloss theme.

First, did you install Firefox 3 compatible themes? Second, you can try to start Firefox in safe mode: Start > Programs > Mozilla Firefox > Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode). Then open Tools : Add-ons to remove the themes.
Did you upgrade to FF3 directly from FF2 without uninstalling? If so i would suggest a full uninstall and delete of local files and reinstall of FF3.
@b Yes, and I managed to get it back.
@battlemarz I have not used firefox before 3. I recently upgraded to 3.0.1 (today) And it shuts down because the window bar disapears! When is the Windows Vista version of firefox?
Firefox 3 supports Vista just fine. I would suggest 2 things: A) doing as battlemarz suggest and perform a full un-install from Programs and Features or B) loading Firefox in safe mode with Add-ons disabled and remove all themes and plug ins. Then you can download new themes and plug ins that support Firefox 3.
@b I have 3, all themes are for 3. But it doesn’t work!
From looking around the web you do not seem to be alone. I would install FF2 or 3.0.0 until they release another update which fixes whatever problem they are having.
