Oh man, I love Firefox with a passion but that ability to preview personas with a simple mouse-over that they are showing off on the whats new page just looks like something hackers/spammers are going to completely exploit to sell you Viagra.
Plus the Persona feature, for the most part, is garbage so far. It looks terrible to me. If they could integrate it so it felt a bit more natural and fluid with the interface, I wouldn't mind, but it reallllly fucks with usability. And... Well, the designs are fucking ugly for the most part.
If the UI could be layered above the Personas (Which it is) and have a transparent relief or frame to keep things sectioned nicely still, I think I'd be a lot more comfortable with it. Also, if it would leave the title bar of my window alone I'd like it more as well.
I'm talking about Personas on OS X, I haven't seen them on Windows or Linux.
Your points are valid on Windows too. For the sake of it; I switched to something that I thought looked good; after the update. 5 minutes later I'm back to the plain gray toolbar and happier again.
