Update deleted all appearance themes
Today I was prompted to update firefox 13.0.1. And now all of my appearance themes are gone. Not simply disabled, but completely gone! Is there a way to retrieve them? Or do I have to manually search and add them back?

Do you mean Personas to style the user interface part with a background image?
Did you reset Firefox or otherwise create a new profile folder?
Yes, that. All I did was update Firefox; does that automatically create a new profile folder?
No, Firefox shouldn't create a new profile when you update.
Installed Personas are store as a pref in the prefs.js file, so there may have been a problem with the prefs if you only lost those.
You can check if the have a numbered prefs-##.js file in the profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Open Directory)

Thank you for your help. I don't know what happened, as now that's not the only problem. I was, however, able to follow your advice; so now I know where to look if this happens again.
