When i roll over my mouse to try the new personas, nothing happens?
I updated firefox and on the start-up page, it recommended me to try some new personas. When i rolled my mouse over the personas, nothing happens. On my laptop however, when i roll over, the persona does change.

I have the same problem with the same specs. I have to actually click on the "wear" link to get the Persona to show up.
Previewing a persona only works on sites that are whitelisted via an allow exception.
Tools > Options > Security : "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons": Exceptions
Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the 'Site Preferences'.

Unfortunately, many less-technical users won't understand your reference "whitelisting" (which doesn't actually appear in FF's settings). Some may even assume they should turn off "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons"—and that's not a good idea.
So to avoid confusion, here's how to actually do what you described:
1. On Firefox's Tools menu, click Options. The Options window appears.
2. At the top of the window, click Security. Be sure the checkbox is selected that says "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons", then click the Exceptions button next to it.
3. A dialog box appears that says "Allowed Sites - Add-ons Installation". In the text box that says "Address of web site:", type:
5. Click the Close button to close the dialog box, then click OK to close the Options window.
You should now be able to preview Personas by pointing to them.
