Personas for Firefox – Theming without restarting
// December 18th, 2007 // Software
When we first started recommending Firefox, one of the first features that the students found was the ability to change themes. Unfortunately, changing a theme is a pretty heavy weight process, requiring a restart of Firefox. Mozilla Labs has been working on a different theming process, Personas, which doesn’t require a restart:
Features
- You can select a Persona from the dynamic menus and see results instantly without having to discover, select, download or install a separate bit of software or code.
- Personas can be added, removed or updated by their designers at any time, without requiring a software update.
One caveat, the theme can be changed by the designer at anytime, which means there is a chance that something inappropriate may be viewed.
