On Mozilla Labs, they’ve just released the Personas for Firefox version 0.91, a lightweight extension that helps a Firefox user to change the theme, skin or fur coat of her Firefox browser. According to Mozilla, it 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.

Once an user installed this extension, just look for the little Fox mask in the lower-left corner of the browser, click on it, and it shows several themes ranging from Popular, Recent, to All. An user has the options of selecting the theme that she like and change from time to time without the need to reload her Firefox browser. Most users that choose to use Firefox browser are due to the flexibility of install the Add-ons, with the introduction of Personas for Firefox, it has made the Internet surfing by using Firefox “a lot more enjoyable”.

Foxkeh is coming to you from Japan right now. Currently have two version of web pages, one is in Japanese language and the other one is English. It was a development of Mozilla Japan, a cartoon even cuter than the usual Fox that we familiar with, assume that we used Firefox as our main browser on the web. It is a little creature that developed with the aim of making Firefox accessible and for viewing in the Japan market, as told by CEO of Mozilla Foundation.

Currently the Mozilla Japan has prepared the extensions for the Foxkeh, with banners, wallpaper and the developing documentation as well. However, maybe you don’t realize, Foxkeh was more than a cartoon character, it go penetrate the worldwide market starting from Japan, educate the younger generation to start using Firefox browser when they first touch the Internet, smiling on the ground, and does the things an ordinary salesman that couldn’t do in a daily routine job. Sometimes cartoon know more than an ordinary salesman about the buying psychology, in this case, the human side of selling the Firefox services.
