Has anybody seen the latest addition from Mozilla Labs called Personas. They are light-weight themes/skins for your firefox browser and can be changed within seconds without a restart of your browser.
I have started using this and love them already, they are really easy to swap between styles depending on your mood, feelings or hobbies!
You can even create your own! Which is incredibly fun, there is more info on the official site, i also have a link with details in my profile.
What do you think about this latest addon? Are you going to use it? Create your own?

I currently have this Persona plugin and I must say that it's really cool! No offense but I think it's much better than those you can call "Firefox Themes", am I right? Hehe. I currently have it installed here on my laptop. I'm currently using the Firefox colour orange one, that cute fox you know. I just forgot what it's called.
Firefox really is the best browser on world wide web :)

I agree completely! I really dislike themes, but the personas are so simple and yet so good at the same time. You definetly cant go past a good persona, and yes I think i know the one you are talking about. Firefox is definetly leading the world in web browsing.
Thanks for the repsonse!

Hi.
This sounds cool. I have just downloaded the addon, let's see how it works.
It is asking for a Firefox restart and hence I'll get back here after I am done with it.
By the way, nice share.

Yes after first installing the addon you are required to restart firefox, but after that you are no longer require to restart when you wish to change your persona, so its very quick and easy.
Hope you enjoy the new feature and find a persona that suits you! :)

I have actually never heard of these until now! I use Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird. They completely and utterly blow Internet Explorer and Microsoft Outlook out of the water! I will definitely be checking these new features out!

Hi there. Well, I downloaded and installed the plug-in right after I read this discussion and I must say that Firefox Personas are indeed fun and lightweight to use. Thanks for the info~! 
And yes, I may try my hand at creating my own in the future.

They are extremely fun! & the fact that you can swap between them instantly is the best part. Goodluck creating your own, my plan is to combine my favourite things into the one persona and then use it as my regular one.

Yea, i really like the new update firefox had...I mean the themes thingy is really brillinte or what? ^_^ Because rather than facing a boring blue internet explorer window, try mozilla's firefox personas and like choose your own style and like actually ENJOY being online or simply surfing the net ^_^

Thanks for your thoughts. Its so true though, you might spend hours looking at your internet browser, you may aswell turn it into something that looks good to you, and with the personas it can be changed quickly, saves time hunting down skins and themes that you have to install seperately, which most people dont bother with.
