If Firefox 20 is in Private Browsing mode then a possible persona is disabled and the default theme is used - oh god, no - what can I do to keep both?
Cor-el answered on the 4.4.13: " If Firefox 20 is in Private Browsing mode then a possible persona is disabled and the default theme is used. So you will have to make a choice."
Can I go back to an older version of FF? I really do not want to choose. Will that problem be fixed in FF 21? I really love Firefox, it has always been my favorite browser - but giving up the Personas will be hard and I don't understand why I have to...
How do I reinstall an older version of FF? Is there another solution?

That will be possible in future Firefox versions in some cases.

Temporary workaround to save my Persona--went to Options, Privacy, Custom Settings, unchecked "Remember my browsing and download history".
Remember to use the per window Private Browsing when you are doing banking or other confidential / financial work.
One option is now
- Firefox Button -> New Private Browsing Window
- (Linux / xp File -> New Private Browsing Window)
- see Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history
