WordPress Personas for Firefox
Last week Mozilla released Firefox 3.6, the latest and greatest version of their open source Web browser. To mark the occasion, we worked with designer Chad Pugh to create a couple of brand new WordPress Personas for Firefox. Personas are like skins for your browser, and these designs are a great way to show off your WordPress colors.
The “Vintage Press” Persona is inspired by the style of the great old-time printing presses. Get it here.
And the “Inkwell” Persona uses splashes of color to decorate a well-used piece of paper. Add it to your Firefox here.

I really like the bottom one! Nice colors, and the musical notes add another element which rounds out the senses.
January 25th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
These are pretty cool. Very nicely done. I hope you have some like this for Google Chrome soon too! Thanks for sharing.
January 25th, 2010 at 10:49 pm
Cool feature, although, doesn’t it take more ram? Would have to check it out, best regards!
January 25th, 2010 at 11:07 pm
great designs….
January 25th, 2010 at 11:09 pm
Hi! They look beautiful. But, I’m not clear…how do I use them, where will I access them and how do they affect my Blogs? Thanks Love E
January 25th, 2010 at 11:48 pm
These are WordPress themes for the Firefox web browser, so they won’t affect your blog at all.

Loved the “vintage press” so much
… Downloading

I chose Inkwell. I like the use of grey, blue and green. The WordPress logo in this Persona reminds me of sealing a letter in wax
The music score throughout is a very nice touch. With my love for music Inkwell adds another dimension to my thoughts and writing.
Chad Pugh is a very talented artist. Thank you for sharing this Persona today.

Vintage press nice!
*goes and changes theme*
January 25th, 2010 at 11:36 pm
Both are very attractive but I prefer the second one to the first. I’m not convinced as yet that my Firefox needs skinning but that’s no surprise. You see my first response to almost anything new tends to be … MEH … but a few weeks later I may even become a fan. My browser is “bloated” with add-ons and extensions, so I’m going to bookmark this entry for which I thank you, and after I do a browser purge I’ll be back.

I made one too!
WordPress Firefox Persona
January 25th, 2010 at 11:45 pm
Nice.
January 25th, 2010 at 11:47 pm
LOVED it!! Thanx a lot!!
January 26th, 2010 at 12:02 am
@Paul Kim i meant my Windows Machine RAM and speed indeed :-/
January 26th, 2010 at 6:15 am
Your best bet is to give it a try — if you notice changes you can always uninstall the Persona.
January 26th, 2010 at 12:08 am
Simple but stylish, Love it!
January 26th, 2010 at 12:37 am
These are truly beautiful. I may not be using Firefox 3.6 so I may not use it but it’s been a real pleasure to just ponder over it. Thanks a lot, you guys are great!
January 26th, 2010 at 1:19 am
Me gustan los dos temas, pero solo eligiré uno
Muchas gracias

Great stuff. But like a few people here, I’ve since jumped the FF ship to Chrome. Would be great if you could get something on that format, too.
January 26th, 2010 at 1:39 am
Inkwell, subliminally creative
January 26th, 2010 at 1:40 am
cool
January 26th, 2010 at 2:04 am
cool! Love it!
January 26th, 2010 at 2:07 am
Very cool.
January 26th, 2010 at 2:12 am
Nice! i have both Firefox and Chrome on my PC. I’ll definitely try the second one out. I hope you also have personas for Chrome in the future.
January 26th, 2010 at 2:14 am
Very interesting. For some reason Personas slowed my browsing down. Maybe with the newer version I will try again. I like the second one.
January 26th, 2010 at 2:23 am
Wow, I am going to use them now!
January 26th, 2010 at 2:55 am
they are good, WordPress artworks are always very professional, cool, unique and excellent
January 26th, 2010 at 3:26 am
wow.. really cool.. thanks
January 26th, 2010 at 3:29 am
This is very interesting, the advances of the WP and the tools you all offer simply amazing
January 26th, 2010 at 3:45 am
love those personas, but won’t leave my Safari for a Firefox hunt.
cheers.
January 26th, 2010 at 3:52 am
I like it!
January 26th, 2010 at 3:56 am
“Vintage Press” leaves all of my toolbar items very legible — the most often overlooked design feature of Personas. Killer work here.
January 26th, 2010 at 4:00 am
Yeah, the bottom one is VERY cool! But why stop at two?
January 26th, 2010 at 4:10 am
great
January 26th, 2010 at 4:11 am
Nice for those who tend their browser skins regularly
January 26th, 2010 at 4:22 am
I loved both the skins .. thanks. now i am confused which one 2 keep .:D
January 26th, 2010 at 4:33 am
They are nice, but I think I’ll stay with my Pulp Fiction persona.
January 26th, 2010 at 6:31 am
Marsellus Wallace insists you switch it up at times, yo.
January 26th, 2010 at 8:02 am
Like the vintage one.. will have to start using firefox as well!!
January 26th, 2010 at 8:49 am
It’s very Nice to update yourself
January 26th, 2010 at 8:49 am
So nice! So beautiful
Even though I didn’t use Personas before, these themes are awesome!
January 26th, 2010 at 10:13 am
Nice work.. Awesome!
January 26th, 2010 at 10:31 am
So nice ^_^
January 26th, 2010 at 12:00 pm
Be aware that the current version of Personas is attracting quite a bit of flack from users
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/reviews/display/10900
My view of skins is that they’re pretty pointless, anyway (functionality first, prettiness a long way second).
Very nice work, guys, but thanks, I’ll pass.
January 26th, 2010 at 12:08 pm
I’d like to see these skins for Chrome!
January 26th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
That looks cool! I love a look like this!
January 26th, 2010 at 12:53 pm
Great thought and idea to spread the WordPress love. Keep it going like this!
January 26th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
Very cool. I love Firefox and WordPress. That’s a whole lot of love right there
January 26th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
I like them both, but personally prefer ‘Inkwell’; it is more in line with who I am and what I am doing here.
January 26th, 2010 at 4:14 pm
ohh! great! my firefox has a completely new wp addict look now
thank you!
January 26th, 2010 at 5:35 pm
I love those skins.
Sadly, none of my computers like Firefox any more. I can’t take the crashing.
Working with Opera now and loving it. How about something for Opera?
January 26th, 2010 at 6:28 pm
I AM IN LOVE!!!
can’t decide!!! grrrrr
January 26th, 2010 at 6:48 pm
amazing good idea
January 26th, 2010 at 9:44 pm
I never used a Firefox theme before I read this article.
January 26th, 2010 at 10:42 pm
I like number one…classic
January 26th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
I like!
January 27th, 2010 at 1:43 am
Good Job WordPress, like someone said in the earlier posts, you really are getting stronger.
January 27th, 2010 at 2:35 am
I like both but I’ll probably end up trying the second one if FF would just stop crashing
January 27th, 2010 at 3:53 am
wicked!
January 27th, 2010 at 4:20 am
Hey Paul! Firefox + WordPress = awesome^2
Great to see you around another great product! Cheers!
January 28th, 2010 at 1:33 am
Thanks Percy!
January 27th, 2010 at 5:55 am
I’ll give it try. It’s great ‘collaboration’ between firefox and wordpress. I’m big fan both of them
January 27th, 2010 at 6:38 am
Like previously mentioned by some of the comments above, would love to see a Chrome theme. I like the one I’m using a lot. https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/theme_at_hedgehoginthefog.html
January 27th, 2010 at 6:43 am
I use Chrome, but those are pretty rad.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:44 am
Excellent! I love WP
) Keep up the good work guys~
January 27th, 2010 at 11:50 am
wordpress is better with google chrome
January 27th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
Wow. Both are nice.
January 27th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
Cool. I’ll surely try it…
January 27th, 2010 at 2:21 pm

January 27th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
Oh wow those are awesome!
January 27th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
This is very cool!
I love Firefox & WordPress too!
January 27th, 2010 at 5:08 pm
Oh, these are nice! But I do use google chrome when I use wordpress.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:17 pm
Nice? Oh, yessssssssssssssssssssss!

Tank’s all
January 28th, 2010 at 3:01 am
I am really excited about WordPress and want to be alerted to any new and exciting app.
January 28th, 2010 at 6:46 am
Nice!
January 28th, 2010 at 10:38 am
yes chrome please
January 28th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
That’s a good idea,,,
I think it will make people excited about WordPress…
January 28th, 2010 at 6:45 pm
How can we use it?
January 28th, 2010 at 8:32 pm
Click on either of the images above in the post of the Personas. If you use Firefox 3.6 as your browser you’ll be able to use the Personas immediately. If you don’t use Firefox you’ll have the option to install it and get the Personas afterwards.
January 28th, 2010 at 8:28 pm
Very nicely made.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:35 pm
NICE AND WELL DONE DEAR
but i think the blog on wordpress needs many things such as clock, vote, weather…a box that shows friend’s blogs … mmm visitor counter shows visitors but who are they? in which country and short information about her/his country…that allows us to know many countries…
and Audio??? i can’t add it because it needs to be paid??mmm
sorry for my long comment
in anyway thnx alot dear
January 28th, 2010 at 11:17 pm

Of course, you’re right, I am a Croatian in Zagreb. Almost by accident I came to this site and I am very pleased though I am still a beginner .. Thank you for letting me comment, and write even though this is too long .. and behold me .. I am always exaggerating, and I love to write .. greetings, and of course sorry for bad English …

Love them, guys, great job!
January 31st, 2010 at 4:10 am
I have used Safari and WordPress to blog. I ran into trouble on a couple of counts. Updates to widgets did not show up and I had to redo them in IE. Some graphics did not show properly.
PS: When are you going to add a proper google enabled search engine.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:08 pm
the second one is really nice!
