631104 - Allow persona to fade into about:home page

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Blair McBride [:Unfocused] (UNAVAILABLE)]

Bug 620963 (once it lands) allows us to have a persona fade into in-content chrome, making them feel more personalized. Adding this to about:home gives the following result: http://grab.by/8IRX

We build Firefox for the user.  I think this gives a lot of personalization to the product, but mostly it represents the message "this is made for you".  Plus the patch will be really low risk from what I heard.
Absolutely nice.

This looks really weird. Please don't do this.

I guess you noticed this is not a like/dislike Facebook page, unless you have serious thoughts about usability/implementation/techical-issues please refrain from commenting.
You can open a discussion in mozilla.dev.apps.firefox though and post the link here, and that will be far more useful.

We stopped calling the theme based "Personas" that name several years back, when they were also integrated into normal themes in Firefox.

Therefore bulk-closing Persona related bugs as they are no longer valid. If you are still having a potentially related issue in the latest version of Firefox, please take a look on our support site (https://support.mozilla.org) or file a new issue.
