I know Ryan implemented this copy per what he was provided, but I think it's wrong:

"1. Click on the fox mask in the lower left corner of your Firefox browser, or go to the Persona’s page directly from here.

2. Next, select a Persona from the list, or check out the Persona’s Gallery."

"Persona's page" and "Persona's Gallery" [sic]

A) Why are those singular, possessive?  We're not pointing them to any particular Persona...
B) Why is "Gallery" capitalized as though it were a proper noun?  https://sm-weave-proxy01.services.mozilla.com/store/gallery/All/Popular doesn't refer to itself as a "Gallery" in anywhere but its directory path.

IMHO, they should be:

1. Click on the fox mask in the lower left corner of your Firefox browser, or go to the Personas page directly from here.

2. Next, select a Persona from the list, or check out the Personas gallery."

Also, when using the word "personas" to refer to the name of the extension, which is a proper noun, we should capitalize the word, but when using the words "persona" and "personas" to refer to the things you can access with the extension, or when using them as adjectives to modify a noun (like the "personas gallery"), we should make the word all lower case.

So the words "persona" and "personas" in this copy should all be lower case.  (alternately, treat "personas gallery" as a proper noun and capitalize both words).

Finally, the extension has been using the word "directory" to refer to the part of the web site where you can browse and select personas.  Is that now being called a gallery?  If so, we should update the extension to call it that as well.

Waiting on comments from Suneel and/or Rolo.

We are officially calling the directory the "gallery".

I think we have been consistent in use of lowercase persona when referring to the website in other places.  So agree with Myk with above usage.

I have fixed bug 483536 on incorrect usage in the FAQ.
