The 'similar behaviour' in Firefox 3.6 is not a bug. The new Personas feature of Firefox 3.6 has a new behaviour: the default theme (which equates to no custom toolbar background) isn't an item. Instead, if you remove all personas, the default theme (invisible in the list) is used.

This is only a bug in Firefox 3.5, which has been fixed. It isn't a bug in Firefox 3.6.

@Delan Azabani

This is incorrect. Upstream ships with the default profile and we should as well. Personas will override the profile, but the default is still necessary.
