please move the topic to "Open Source & Commercial Software", I put it on the wrong place,sorry.

personas for firefox is a cool extension for the firefox user, the most feature I think is changing the skin instantly without reboot firefox and and having a lot of beautiful skins to choose.the extension doesn't change your theme, It only replaces the background.

here are some information from official site.

Personas for Firefox is a extension that adds lightweight theming to your browser.

ersonas is a prototype that builds upon the ideas that:

* themes today are too hard to find, install and use
* graphic designers should be able to style the browser without having to code
* browsers can be more than just desktop software, they can include online components
* people just want their computer to be a little more fun and personal

This version improves upon a prototype that was discussed and tested earlier this year.

We’ve just started talking about the possible benefits of taking advantage of an online component to deliver a better browser experience. There is certainly more to explore in this regard; Personas is but a simple example.

In this version, the Persona selector is dynamically loaded and populated from a JSON feed and all designs are loaded via URLs to remote resources. All changes to the browser chrome are applied instantly, with no need to restart.

We’ll shortly be releasing an API that will allow developers and designers to submit Personas that are based on Web content, including support for anything that can load in a content window such as HTML, CSS, PNG, JPG, Javascript, SVG and Canvas.

Features

* You can select a Persona from the dynamic menus and see results instantly without having to discover, select, download or install a separate bit of software or code.
* Personas can be added, removed or updated by their designers at any time, without requiring a software update.

yes k-meleon is faster even though it has the same gecko engine with firefox 2.
and the tools also configurable, so it is safer for admin in public computer...
we know it is way faster in loading page, but it would be great if you put more comparison of why k-meleon is faster than firefox.

but it's a bit off, since we talk about firefox adds-on...
better add new thread Smile

It does work for FF2.0 by the way.

Firefox 2.0.0.* - 3.0b2pre, Windows/Mac/Linux

Seems to be pretty clean in terms of resources, but then again im running a C2D with 3 gigs ram, so I wouldn't know Wink
This extension for firefox seems really cool! I'll have to use it one of these days, although I'm a bit busy today!
