I cannot seem to get the new animated Firefox skins. I click on the "wear this" but nothing happens.

Although I have skins on the toolbar, I have been unable to change to the new animated skins by clicking on "wear this." I'd like to get the new Halloween skins but am unable to for some reason. The only skins I can wear are the ones showing up on my tool bar.

I'll reply to myself since it doesn't appear that I'll get a reply from anyone else:

 "Don, you're just a complete idiot!  Don't you know that Firefox is not responsible for getting the new skins incorporated into your old ones?  You'll just have to keep clicking on "wear this" forever without anything actually happening because you will never figure out how to actually wear these new skins without Firefox informing you of just how to do that--and that will never happen.  But thanks for your question anyway.  It's been a pleasure doing business with you."

Hi , when you click "wear this skin" Firefox will ask for permission for installing the skin from the site which you should press "allow" the permission dialog should be just below the Tabs Bar.... hope that solves it

You can only use a persona if you use the Default theme (Tools > Add-ons > Themes)

Also make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
