Personas for Firefox is a prototype extension that adds easy-to-style, easy-to-change skins to the browser.

Since the Personas project was launched three months ago, the extension has been downloaded over 6 million times, and the gallery has welcomed nearly 17,000 designs.

Today, we are excited to announce two new features to the online gallery: search and favorites. Both of these are important not only because they help make the Personas experience stronger, but also because their release was a collaborative effort within the Personas community. With the community’s feedback and support, we were able to make the product stronger.

What’s Next

Our next step is to integrate favorites into the client so that the designs you mark as favorites in the gallery automatically appear in your extension. To continue to evolve quickly, and in the right direction, we need your ideas and feedback. If you have thoughts on how to make Personas better, please discuss and debate them with the community in our discussion group or add a solution to our newly created support wiki. We will continue to listen carefully to feedback, and update you regularly.
