This seems to be pretty useless to end users, although I guess it could be cool for companies who want to make the person's browser blend in with their app somehow. I'm sure this will really be of interest to spyware developers and whomever else may want to hijack your browser with their ads.

I don't think I will be going through these personas, they didn't hold my interest for very long (and I no longer use Firefox as my primary browser anyway, the Webkit Nightlies have replaced Firefox for the most part for me).

Still, any thoughts?

It looks amateurish.

Tried some and most have issues at one point or another, with the tittle bar and tabs becoming unreadable.
Even Aol. website does better than that.

Those things apparently only work with the default theme. Since I never use that, anyway, it is pretty useless to me.

Not a great idea in general, horrible options available.

I believe this feature is a copy of the Chrome's theme. At least they seem similar to me and it is a feature that wasn't worth copying IMO.
