Right now the new bug form UI replies heavily on the Mozilla theme which is why it is automatically enabled when selecting the experiment ui selection. We will need to look at whether the new UI can be made to work with the older themes. We officially support the Mozilla theme and have not done any work on the older themes in a long time. If there are particular issues that you are seeing while using the Mozilla theme, would it be possible for you to create bug reports for us so we can address them. We only have resources to be able to support one theme at this time.
