I started to use Personas but after last Firefox update they disappeared and are no longer in Tools>AddOns> Themes. Is this usual and do they have to be downloaded after each update?

This happened

Just once or twice

== Firefox last updated

No, that shouldn't happen.

It happened to me in the last to updates. But after I restart Firefox, it always comes back. Did you try that?

Firefox has been closed and restarted several times and nothing from the previous themes has returned.

In such case, you might want to post your question in Personas' forum where you will get better suggestions or help:

Personas are stored in a pref (about:config), so if there has been a problem with prefs resetting then you lose all personas as well.
