Firefox Personas

{ posted by Whitney, web designer }

I decided to upgrade my Firefox web browser today to version 3.6. I am really excited about this new release because in the words of typekit.com, "It represents a significant milestone in the ongoing story of fonts on the web. This marks the first browser to support the emerging Web Open Font Format, or WOFF." This is very exciting for the web in general, but when I opened my update, Firefox did something I was not ready for. It asked me to choose my "persona," which is basically like a skin. It has thousands to choose from — I was classic and went with GreyDay.

ooh! that *does* sound exciting. i enjoy figuring out all the interesting things you can do with stock fonts & css, but i certainly would welcome more variety and choices.

off to update!
