Personas in the context of Firefox are lightweight themes, more
specifically.  They do not require a browser restart to try them or apply
them.  At http://www.getpersonas.com/ one can try out personas just by
hovering over the preview image.

I've recently tried a few personas meant to coordinate with my Ubuntu theme
(i.e. Ambiance, Radiance, Element), however I found in each case that I
preferred Firefox's default, GTK theme-inherited appearance.
