Personas: New Easy to Install & Easy to Use Skins for Mozilla Firefox

Today Mozilla labs has announced the official release of a new skin engine "Personas" for Mozilla Firefox.

"Personas" are lightweight skins that change the look of Firefox web browser. You can easily switch between Personas with just a few clicks. There are hundreds of Personas to choose from, with more added every day. You can even create your own and share it with others.

Personas allow you to skin the top and bottom areas of Firefox only (the header and footer of the browser chrome) without any change to the look of the navigation buttons or menus.

You can install it by visiting GetPersonas.com and click the download button. After installation, you will be asked to restart Firefox.

If you want to see how it works, you can watch a quick video demonstration here.

Once Personas are installed, you'll be able to choose and change your selected Persona any time simply by clicking on the little fox mask in the lower left-hand corner of your browser window or by going to "Tools -> Personas for Firefox" menu.

You can also create your own Personas skins. All you need to do is create two graphics files in your favorite graphics editing program (e.g., Photoshop). To get started read more about how to create a Persona. But remember that the persona that you upload may not exceed 300KB for the header or the footer image.

It looks Nice, but you have to use the default theme for Firefox in order for it to work. Meaning no special buttons for "back" "forward" "refresh" "new tab" etc. It also messes up the look of things if you try to use a theme other than the default. But, I might still be able to find some use for it. Thanks for reporting.
