No doubt that skins, oh sorry Personas, have been added to compete with Chrome.
I don't know any Java and only a tiny bit of html so Jetpack won't me much use to me. It sounds like one of those wonderful geeky tools that's brilliant for programmers. Does it pose a potential security vulnerability though?
What about security? Are there any plans to do as Chrome does and load every tab as a separate process so one page crashing doesn't take the whole browser down?

Peronas are a Firefox innovation. They were in Mozilla labs as an extension for a good while. They now have 35k themes before the debut with firefox 3.6.

"wonderful geeky tools that's brilliant for programmers" I think when they're thinking about replacing Firefoxes extension system (but realistically will complement it for the forseeable future) with a better new idea, it is indeed brilliant for programmers but that is damn good for users too. Of course there are security concerns to be dealt with as there was for the add on system firefox has. See attached for the install page when installing jetpacks. (i have a small screen so there are 2 pics. btw firefox 3.6 supports multiple file uploads, drag and drop uploads and xmlhttprequest uploads from html 5. see http://hacks.mozilla.org/2009/12/uploading-files-with-xmlhttprequest/ for blog post and video)

yes.
also most crashes come from plugins and firefox does out of process plugins since 3.5 i think

I get a timed out message when posting more than one attachment.
EDIT:
I've found that editing the post and adding another attachment works.
By the way, I've just got Firefox 3.6 and tested the personas feature. It's not as good as Opera skins which alters the entire user interface. Personally I don't care one way or the other, I don't use the themes on Opera, on Windows I have it set for the system them and under Linux it's set to the classic Opera 9 theme.
I do know though that some people value superficial things like the user interface, visual styles and skins more than important things like security and will be amazed by themes. ;)
See the attachments. Sorry about the quality, unfortunately I had to convert to 8-bit PNG and low quality JPG to fit them into the limit 192kB total attachments per post.

personas are in addition to the themes firefox always supported - see attached.
