Personas for Firefox is an extension that adds lightweight theming to your browser. And all you need to do is look for the one that best suits your preferences. Updated to Firefox 20.0, now whenever i go into private browsing mode, it switches back to default firefox theme, i have a custom persona installed for firefox, which works in normal mode (and used to work in earlier versions in private browsing as well), but in FF20.0, private browsing just loads up with default ff theme, although i still can see it enabled in Add-ons tab, but it just does'nt.

Personas does not save the personas you use offline. Therefore you must be online when you start Firefox in order for the persona you have chosen to be displayed.

However, it's possible to download the files for offline use.

Saving a gallery Persona

1. Select and apply the persona you wish to download
2. Find the extensions.personas.current entry in about:config . Or alternatively find the persona attribute in the HTML of the gallery page.
3. Where it says header and footer, you just need to add the storage URL
   • Example: For the theme Foxkeh, the entry is thus:
     • { 'id':'6592', 'name':'Foxkeh', 'accentcolor':'#6b6b6b', 'textcolor':'#d1d1d1', 'header':'9/2/6592/1.jpg', 'footer':'9/2/6592/2.jpg' }
   • So the actual URLs of the files are: and
4. You can download the images from the calculated URLs. If you want to use them offline, remember how the accent and text colors look, as you will need to re-enter them later.

Alternatively you could search for the images in your browser's cache. Go to about:cache?device=disk and search for 'getpersonas.com/store/' . This method should work even if you have lost your network connection.

Using a saved Persona offline

1. If you haven't done so already, enable the Custom entry on the personas extension:
   • Click on the Personas icon at the left end of the status bar, and go to Preferences.
   • Check 'Show Custom Persona in Menu' and click OK
2. Go to the Personas icon again, and from there to the newly-present Custom entry, and click Edit.
   
3. Fill out all the necessary information:
   • Put in the name of the persona - it doesn't have to be the same name, just put in whatever you like.
   • Navigate to the stored copies of the header and footer images of the persona
   • Recall the text and accent colors of the persona and fill them in - or experiment to find out what looks best.
   • Click OK, and your new offline persona will be applied!

This technique was originally described by AndyTheGeeky in http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla-labs-personas/browse_thread/thread/2df128a4a36c2be1/ce8aa497206b48ff . It has worked for versions of Personas up to to 1.2.1 (confirmed).

Be aware of license restrictions

(Some clarification is needed here. I'm half-guessing from what I read some months ago...)

Not all personas are released under a the same Creative Commons License. I hope it is legal to download any persona for offline use as described above.

But once you have a copy of the persona file, depending on its license, you might not have the right to redistribute it in edited form.

(If you think you might want to modify a persona later, it is worthwhile making a note of the name of the personas you downloaded, so that you can check the license later. I just make a bookmark for each Persona I like.)

Personas are skins that you can add to the Firefox browser. They add a wide range of alternative backgrounds to the Firefox tab bar, toolbar and status bar. For direct access to a multitude of Firefox personas, you should add the Personas Plus extension to the browser.

Open this page and click on + Add to Firefox > Install Now to add Personas Plus to Firefox. Then there should be a fox icon at the top right of the browser window as in the shot below. Click on that icon to open the Personas Plus menu.

From that menu we can quickly add a number of alternative personas to the browser. Select Featured to open the submenu below. Move the pointer over the personas for a preview, and click on one to select it.

For a full selection of Firefox personas, select More from featured at the bottom of the submenu. That will open the page in the shot below. Moving the pointer over the personas gives you a preview of them. Just click on the + Add button to add the personas to Firefox.

Firefox Personas Themes

You can also select some additional options from the Personas Preferences window. To open that, click the fox icon and Preferences. That opens the window below, which includes a few options. For example, you can switch the persona previews off by clicking on the Show preview when selecting from menu check box.

The Personas Plus add-on also has a Custom Persona option that you can set up your own customized personas with. Click on Custom Persona > Edit to open the window in the shot below.
