Personas for Firefox - Theming without restarting
Posted on December 18th, 2007 by Mr.Rcollins
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.
