Here is a video describing some of the features:<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7643027&#038;server=vimeo.com&#038;show_title=0&#038;show_byline=1&#038;show_portrait=0&#038;color=&#038;fullscreen=1\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7643027&#038;server=vimeo.com&#038;show_title=0&#038;show_byline=1&#038;show_portrait=0&#038;color=&#038;fullscreen=1\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/7643027\">Introducing Personas 1.4<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/user1482657\">Mozilla Labs<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nWhat you can Expect from 1.4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. More From the Designer: Say you\u2019re browsing through the Personas <a href=\"http:\/\/mozillalabs.com\/personas\/2009\/11\/16\/personas-1-4-released\/getpersonas.com\">gallery<\/a> and pick a design you like. The next day, you want to know whether the designer has created any other cool designs. Before, you would need to go to getpersonas.com and either search for the designer name or find the design you liked and click on the designer by-line. Now, you can simply click on your extension (the little fox on the bottom left corner of your screen), mouse to the top of the menu, and then mouse right to the submenu.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/mozillalabs.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2009\/11\/more-from-livestrong.png\" alt=\"more from livestrong\" width=\"457\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\n<p>2. Favorites: In the last version of Personas, we enabled you to easily favorite any Persona design in the gallery and have it instantly accessible in the \u201cmy favorites\u201d section of your menu (see more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/mozillalabs.com\/personas\/2009\/10\/02\/introducing-favorites-with-personas-1-3\/\">1.3 release<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/mozillalabs.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2009\/11\/favorites.png\" alt=\"favorites\" width=\"576\" height=\"252\" \/><\/p>\n<p>3. More From the Category: Say you\u2019re in the mood for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.getpersonas.com\/en-US\/gallery\/Holiday\/Popular\">Holiday<\/a> persona design. Within the extension menu, you mouse through the Holiday category but can\u2019t find anything you like. Before, you needed to navigate to the Holiday gallery by navigating to getpersonas.com and finding the Holiday gallery. Now you can get there in one step by clicking \u201cMore From Holiday\u201d in the extension.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/mozillalabs.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2009\/11\/more-from-holiday.png\" alt=\"more from holiday\" width=\"694\" height=\"285\" \/><\/p>\n<p>4. Undo: Personas gives you the ability to preview a design before you select it. But still, maybe you chose a design and instantly regret the decision. Before, to undo you would need to go to \u201crecently selected\u201d designs in your extension menu and click on the last design you were wearing. Now, an undo notification bar drops down every time you select a design that you haven\u2019t used recently, or haven\u2019t marked as a favorite.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/mozillalabs.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2009\/11\/undo-1024x93.png\" alt=\"undo\" width=\"1024\" height=\"93\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Get Personas 1.4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are already using Personas 1.3, Firefox will automatically update it to Personas 1.4 the next time it checks for add-ons updates.
