I can download personas but I can't enable them? Why? And how do I enable them?

I used to be able to use personnas but not anymore. At some point they stopped working. When I click "enable" nothing happens. Any idea what might be going on? Thanks.

So I can't run it in private mode and have a persona on at the same time. Oh well. Maybe someday they will fix that.

Thank you iamjayakumars for such a fast answer.
