Personas for Causes

Tuesday, Jan 18, 2011

Save cute animals, cool down the planet, promote breast cancer awareness & more with Personas designed by the community for global causes, big and small.

Got a cause? Sure you do! Everyone believes in something. And now you can show that something off in your browser…

From convincing the world that skateboarding is not a crime to saving the bees, there’s probably a Persona for your strongest conviction. Personas let you decorate your browser with art (and words) that express who you are and what you believe in. See all “cause” Personas or keep reading to see some examples. Can’t find a Persona to fit your cause? Make one! Personas are all created by the Mozilla Community; anyone can create a Persona and submit it to the Gallery.

If you see a Persona you like below, click on the image, then click “Add to Firefox” to install on your browser.

Save the bees!

Skateboarding is hard to do on the Web, but…

Breast cancer awareness:

Save the Tigers

Recycle!

Remember, you can find the exact Persona to suit your style (not just your cause) by entering key words in the search field at the top of this page.

    I went to the link given and tried finding one for mental illness and nothing came up. Maybe I’m doing something wrong? I hope so because it’d be very disappointing if there is no theme for advocating for mental illnesses.

      Dear Ann,

      You’re right, it doesn’t look like there is a Persona for mental illness. It might help to know that there’s no single “curator” for Personas. Individuals just contribute what they want, when they want. If no one has had enough volition to submit a Persona for a given theme, then it simply won’t be there… Yet! Anyone can create and submit a Persona. Here’s more information about how to do that: http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/demo_create

      Best,
      Elise

    Gay Pride is my persona !
    Love the idea, but I rarely see my persona because I use full screen (F11) 99% of the time :-(
