10 awesome Personas themes for Firefox 3.6
Happy Firefox 3.6 release day! In honor of the official release of the latest and greatest version of Mozilla's browser, I thought I'd highlight one new feature in particular: Personas. Firefox 3.6's Personas support allows you to change the look of Firefox with a single click, no restart required. If you've used themes in Google Chrome, you're already familiar with the idea.
The Personas gallery features a daunting 35,000+ themes already, but I took on the challenge of combing through them to separate the good and usable from the just-plain-ugly. I ruled out Personas that lacked contrast or otherwise made the Firefox toolbar tough to read (note to Personas designers: there were way too many of these), and then picked the most visually pleasing candidates from what was left.
I hope you enjoy these Firefox skins, but my list is by no means definitive. If you find a Persona that puts mine to shame and deserves a top place on the list, leave me a comment!
Take the jump to explore the gallery!

i've found i prefer the Glasser extension to any of the Personas. but thats just my preference.

I don't mind the Foxkeh one. At least it leaves FF in a readable state.
Wish I could say the same for those abstract, but pretty, swirls.

Please remember to download the version of Firefox 3.6 that has Personas preinstalled if u want to use it. i got one which didn't have it and spent 30 mins finding out how to do it.
for those who need it, the addon is here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10900

Wow. Jay has a TERRIBLE taste in personas. Seriously all of those looked like something a 7th grader made in Photoshop.
Only one I liked was the last one that he said he'd get flamed for....
Note: I don't mean any offense to Jay. I'm just saying he's got a bad taste in images and such.

Most (not all, but most) of them seemed pretty nice to me.
It would be useful to see 10 ones which you think are great so I can work out whether Jay or you that has the questionable taste :)

It's all pretty subjective, but have you seen the alternatives? I'm sure you've found some good ones that I haven't, and I'd like to check them out. Most of the available choices are pretty rough, though.

I found this one. I like the music and abstract art. http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/48192
