    well normally your supposed to download them in firefox and it automatically opens a download window and installs them!
    As far as i remember they are in .jar format, is there a .jar file in it?

    Yes, the only way I'm aware of is to download it via Tools>>Themes.

    Perhaps place the files within firefoxs directory, assuming it has a folder called themes?

    EDIT: I just checked, in Firefoxs directory, there is a folder:

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions

    In extensions is an RDF file, so that may be of some use.

    I've seen your problem before. In the other case, it was due to a corrupted Firefox download. Re-download Firefox and try again.

    open firefox > tools > themes > and then drag your downloaded .jar file onto the themes window and it will install the theme!
