Where to find old Personas

Unread post by Marcus » 2019-08-29, 10:23

Hi.
I just noticed Firefox erased the old Personas site and the new "Themes" don't install on Palemoon. 3 questions:
1 @Moonchild any chance of making the new web-extension themes installable on Palemoon?
2 Is there a site where some of the Personas .xpi were kept?
3 Where (in Xubuntu 18.04) are the themes .xpi stored so I can backup mine?

Thanks.

1. NO. We do NOT support web extensions of any kind.
2. Personas are a service, they don't come XPI packaged.

Prefer the original full themes any day, personas are just one image laid over the non page area. I've always had my Firefox, then Seamonkey and now PM and Interlink set to look like the Netscape of yore.

Not anymore, I meant pre-Australis. Actually I shifted to Seamonkey around 2011-12 and was on it right upto the infamous XUL/XPCOM deprecation announcement. Found PM mentioned on that thread on the Mozilla site and was happy to find it already was offering 64-bit builds that Firefox got around to much later.
The irony is that I didn't like the original Netscape while it was around, preferring to use IE 4 and 5.5 (!!!) because I liked the desktop integration, ability to select extra components to add or not, and consistency with Windows UI. And yes, I use Moonscape. Right now I've changed over to the Mac OS like Xmoon just for a change, and well, because this is something present day Firefox can never do again. My other favorite is Past Modern Revisited, which is reminiscent of Netscape 6.
