They&#8217;re a fun and easy way to customize Firefox and make it your own. But in talking with new users, we&#8217;ve learned that they are often confused by the name and don&#8217;t quite get that Personas are just another way to theme your browser. And more often than not, when a Firefox user describes the look of their browser, they use words like &#8220;wallpapers&#8221; or &#8220;backgrounds&#8221; instead of the proper name Personas.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve heard questions from many users over the years as to why we kept the Personas name, and even ran tests that showed users are more likely to try out Personas when called by a different name. &#8220;Persona&#8221; is a good name, but is probably better suited for a different product in the future.<\/p>\n<p>So, we&#8217;d like to rename Personas to something more understandable and localizable. And we&#8217;d love your help.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve come up with several options for a new name and want to know what you think. <strong>Please take a look at the poll below and submit your vote by Wednesday, February 8.<\/strong> Your choice will play a big role in which name we choose, as well as other factors including the word&#8217;s meaning in other cultures and languages.<\/p>\n<p>We expect this transition to take place over the coming weeks.
