If you are starting to guess that this post is about some Firefox extension that does something cool, then you’ve hit the nail on the head. What makes a good firefox extension is nothing to do from one person’s point of view because someone or other will like the extension developed as it caters to her/his needs. However, when it comes to pimping your firefox for looks I am sure everyone has that need and would thoroughly enjoy flirting with the looks of their favorite browser.

Until, now Firefox was using the concept of themes which I thought I thought was pretty neat. But I always wondered, if I could just change the themes on the fly and don’t have to restart my browser all the time. Seems like someone was listening. Firefox now has an extension that does exactly this. Don’t believe me, take a look for yourself. All you’ll need is persona, a firefox extension that changes the theme on the fly. Let’s see what’s the philosophy behind buying this concept.

Personas for Firefox is a extension that adds lightweight theming to your browser. It’s an experiment in personalizing.

Personas builds upon the ideas that:

themes today are too hard to find, install and use

graphic designers should be able to style the browser without having to code

browsers can be more than just desktop software, they can include online components

people just want their computer to be a little more fun and personal

Hmm, seems pretty intriguing and the whole argument seems to be pretty strong to be questioned for a defense. And actually the extension seems to be fun and I am sure you’ll enjoy it. The best part is all changes to the browser chrome are applied instantly, with no need to restart.

Take a look at some the personas below:

I am sure you are going to fall in love with this extension.
