Just go to the theme page for icandy and click the install now button.

**Edit** Nevermind, I see that the icandy mozilla has isn't compatible with 1.0

Maybee this will help?

If you get the iCandy Junior theme from my site (I am the one that made it), you'll find that it is compatible with Firefox 1.0, Mozilla 1.2 - 1.7, Netcape 7.1 - 7.2, Thunderbird 1.0, and then there are also Mac OSX versions of those themes as well. Clicking on the "Install" link will install it for you...

If you have the .jar file, then you can just click tools->themes.

That should open up a small window with some themes listed. Drag your .jar file onto this window and it will install.

to use it, you will need to click 'Use Theme' and it will then instruct you to restart Firefox for the changes to take place.

This works fine for me. I've got the ICandy theme running fine by doing it this way.

Can I assume you're using Linux? The only time I've heard of this problem is with Linux (to the best of my memory, which isn't the best). If so, check this thread out Neowin thread

that's exactly how it should work.

Two things to check:

Tools > Options > Web Features > Allow web sites to install software: should be ticked.

Second, new nightlies after the aviary landing (compiled sometime in early November) have a bug which prevents themes from being installed. The official releases/milestones, and all builds before the aviary merging with the trunk should be fine.
