I keep getting "Invalid or corrupt jarfile..." when I download and try to
open a theme. This happens from more than one site.

On sites that offer both "download" and "install" options, I am able to
install the theme, but if I download the .jar theme file and try opening it, I
get the invalid error message.

TIA for any help.

Are you using a compatible theme for the product?
Not all themes are compatible with all Mozilla products

I just found a workaround. Maybe this is common knowledge, but it's new to me
<g>

As I mentioned - double-clicking on a downloaded .jar file to execute it,
throws up the "Invalid or corrupt jarfile" error. If i open the Themes window
in Firefox, and _drag_ the downloaded .jar file onto the Themes window, the
theme installs fine.
