Celebrate Earth Day with Nature Personas

Thursday, Apr 22, 2010

Personas let you experience Firefox in visual themes that fit your style. The Nature collection is perfect for Earth Day and celebrates the flora, fauna and firmament of our beloved planet.

I first mentioned Personas on St. Patrick’s Day. They’re a special type of add-on that allows you to customize the look of your Firefox in a single click. After my last Persona post, Mozilla’s Ryan Doherty kindly reminded me that there are not a mere 30,000 personas, but over 80,000 Personas designed by the Mozilla Community. And now, that number has increased to 125,000. Wow. And they can all be tried on automatically as you mouse over the images, or “worn”, more permanently.

So what’s today’s occasion? Earth Day, of course!

After trying on daffodils, lunar eclipses, wolves, penguins, butterflies, bees, two of the four seasons, dolphins, orcas, three different owls (images and illustrations), hedgehogs and foggy forests, I settled on the Red-Eye Green Tree Frogs. They peek perfectly over my search bar.

As nations all across the world take some time to celebrate the planet we all share and love, why not dress up your Firefox to the same tune? With almost 300 pages of the Personas Nature Category, you’re sure to find one you like.

Post from Elise Allen, who is building her own menagerie of personas just for Earth Day. See all posts by Elise Allen.

    All the front stuff that comes up now when you enter Firefox is, as far as I am concerned, unwanted and annoying noise. I use Firefox to get on the net with an opening page I want to see, not one Firefox wants me to see.

    I hope Firefox has the sense to go back to its original scheme, and does not force me back into another browser. Get that stuff out of a users way.

      Katie,

      I always just go to:

      http://www.getpersonas.com

      Alternatively, you can click on “Personas Nature Category” in the final line of the above post; it will take you right to those specific designs.

      And like Bob said, they’re all free.
      Have fun!

    The whole point in Firefox is that you can add what you want. It’ still your browser, just ignore what you don’t like or what you consider noise. From the control panel, you actually have control to turn off numerous settings.
