Some updates for Personas fails to work with Firefox on OpenSolaris in
case someone else are also interested in this nice Mozilla labs project
(over 1 million download already).

The bug has been filed in Mozilla community to track the problem:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=488650.

The workaround is pretty simple: just update
$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/*default/extensions/personas at 
christopher.beard/chrome.manifest
to include the line below:

skin personas classic/1.0 jar:chrome/personas.jar!/skin/linux/
appversion>=3.0 os=SunOS

in the skin section should be fine.

Hope this can be included in the next Personas release.

Cheers,
-Alfred
