I have an XP machine where personas only show as a solid color. I have a WIN 7 machine with multiple users - some users work fine and some switch off and on between working and showing only a solid color. I want to know the config settings to look at and compare across platforms and users to get all working again. I am on the current version of FIREFOX - this started about 4 updates ago and has remained.

Hello,

A theme is an add-on that changes the visual appearance of Firefox. When several themes are installed, you can switch to another theme as follows:

  1. Click the menu button New Fx Menu and choose Add-ons.
  2. Switch to the Appearance tab. You should find your previously used personas in the list.
  3. Find the one you want to use and click the Enable button.

To uninstall the other ones, you can click the Remove button on them and they'll be uninstalled instantly.

For more information about Firefox themes, see the article Use themes to change the look of Firefox.

I was not clear - sorry - I want to know the INTERNAL ABOUT:CONFIG SETTINGS that somehow got changed/corrupted 3 firefox updates ago that cause my personas to only show as a single background color. I had been using personas successfully until this summer when they went belly up after an auto update.

Does this happen with all lightweight themes (Personas)?

Do those computers use the default theme in Firefox because a custom theme may not work with Personas?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
