This fix significantly improves Firefox startup performance when a Lightweight Theme (previously known as Personas) is enabled. The fix broke the animated version of these themes, and you&#8217;ll find that they stop animating after a restart.<\/p>\n<p>To work around this bug, you can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/firefox\/addon\/personas-shuffler\/\">Personas Shuffler<\/a> extension. Set your animated theme as the only one on the shuffle list, and this will fix the animation problem.<\/p>\n<p>Since this was discovered so late in the release cycle, it&#8217;s likely that it won&#8217;t be fixed in 18. Also, the current plan is to completely disable the animated themes feature, since they have their own performance issues. However, it&#8217;s likely that this feature will continue to exist in the form of an add-on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I post these updates every 3 weeks to inform add-on developers about the status of the review queues, add-on compatibility, and other happenings in the add-ons world.
