That what I found  in my mozilla firefox start page when i opened my navigator, if you don’t know where is that, you will find the link below, at the end of the subject, so you will have just to make it your home page, and discover mozilla last tools.

Well, that’s not our subject, it  is about the new great tool from Mozilla Labs, called “Personas for Firefox”, it’s a useful tool to customize you mozilla firefox navigator, changing that default ugly look , with a lot of skins ready to use.  Or you can use your own skin and that’s the new thing by creating one by uploading the new skin or with a graphic design software as photoshop if you want to add some text to it,  like your name for example.  Anyway, These new skins and looks called a “Personas”,  doesn’t change the navigator’s buttons,  as the home button or the stop page one, no, you just add some picture to your navigator header, and the footer.  Therefore, you can add a wallpaper or a simple image to your header and footer, and adding a text to it with your design software.

Wear your navigator a persona

Wear your navigator a persona

Its a great tool for customizing your navigator without looking for hours for an appropriate theme in that mozilla gallery!

What do you need to use it, is just installing the Personas mozilla addon, and you can choose one of the free personas or as i said creating your own personas.

you’ll find the website link below, for installing the addon, and how to use it.

And for this reason , I created my first persona and called it “Great Minds” ^^, in fact I used this persona for my blog. But, you can use it for free if you want.  I used in it about 4 basic colors, in header i used the orange as the basic color to my log, and the 3 smilies, which describe my log’s smilies, and the header title! Moreover, for the footer the same colors, and my signature. and i leaved some white area in my footer, to see the links!! Hope you like it!

They will be more examples and personas after!
