the theme is not firefox only. it's just that the URL i gave above was
wrong. my bad. sorry. i must have had it from the developer's website:
http://mozilla-themes.schellen.net/
and it says there that the theme is compatible with mozilla/seamonkey.
in fact i had used it for quite some time with mozilla before mozilla
became seamonkey/iceape.

anyway..i ran a test with ~./mozilla moved away and it seems that the
problem is in fact deriving from some strange hickups in my prefs.
i'll get this fixed. and the bug can be closed.
