It is a fun way to personalize your browser further, and is based on the premise that graphic designers should be able to style the browser without having to code&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>After you install Personas and select a theme from the over 50+ themes that the little fox presents, the theme background changes instantly in both the upper panel and lower status bar. Note that the icons do not change like in a full theme change, only the background does. You have nothing to download or install, and no restart is required. You can always switch back to the default Firefox theme.<\/p>\n<p><em>How does it work so fast? <\/em>They explain that the Persona selector is dynamically loaded and populated from a JSON feed and all designs are loaded via URLs to remote resources. All changes to the browser chrome are applied instantly, with no need to restart.<\/p>\n<p>Mozilla plans to release an API that will allow <strong>developers and designers to submit Personas<\/strong> that are based on Web content.
