So the other day I got that little box in my browser saying that the new version of FireFox (version 3.6) was ready to update on my computer, so I opted to get the update and start using the latest version of FireFox, my prefered browser ;)

Suffice to say that FireFox 3.6 runs a lot faster than the earlier version and my browsing has become quicker, but not only that but I discovered a FireFox Plugin called “Personas for FireFox

So I decided to check them out and find out what they were and to put it simply they allow you to simply and quickly change the look of your FireFox browser or in other words change your browser theme.

But there is a difference between themes and Personas, a theme will change the look of your browser as well as change the buttons etc to the themes look, where as the Persona will only change the image behind the toolbar etc.

You can hover over the examples on the Personas website and your browser will update straight away, which is great, so you can see how it looks.

You do have to install the Firefox plugin for Personas, but this is quick and painless, you will then see a Fox icon on the bottom left of your browser which gives you a list of options, such as adding more Personas, your favourites, preferences etc.

Ok this isn’t a plugin that is a necessity but it certainly makes your browsing look better than just having a plain background.

With a large collection of Personas to choose from, at the time of writing this post it was at 41,626, plus a good choice of categories to choose from such as Abstract, fashion, film & TV, music, nature and loads more.

I like Personas, it just allows me to have my browser looking a little different from time to time, instead of the mundane look of FireFox, but all to their own and it’s a personal choice on if you would like to change the look of your FireFox.

Another plus side to all this is that Personas also has a step by step guide on how to create your own and then submit it to the gallery of other designs, so you could, in theory, design one for your website, company or if you are in a band design one for your fans to have on their browser.

So there we have it, that’s my opinion on Personas, what do you think?

    I used Personas for about 6 months and loved it, for some reason or another I ended up removing the Firefox add on.
