few years back I downloaded a neat theme that looked like a vine and I would like to get it back. I couldn't find it in all the themes you have now.

Do you have a backup of the Firefox Profile Folder that may include the files of that persona?

If you like a persona then it is best to save a backup copy of the persona images because the persona may not last and gets removed from the server.

Data of all installed personas and its background color and text color are stored in the lightweightThemes.usedThemes pref in JSON object format.

The images of the currently selected persona are stored in the files lightweighttheme-header and lightweighttheme-footer in the Firefox profile folder.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Hi,

You can check if it is still listed in Firefox Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons > Appearance and take appropriate action. You can also try to search for it using the name or part of the name, e.g. https://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/All/search?p=vine&search.x=0&search.y=0

Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it. I'm afraid I can't find the one I had, but I will keep looking just in case. I wish I knew what it was called or the category of it, but it's been so long and never thought I will lose it unless I will change it myself. Thnx again and have a good weekend. This the one I was talking about
