A “Catapult shot” persona to change the look of your Firefox browser

Personas are easy-to-install themes that change the look of your Firefox web browser. They are different from themes since they change just the look of the browser without changing the navigation buttons, toolbars and menus, like themes do. On Firefox 3.6, with Personas you can instantly preview a design and install it in one click without needing to restart and without needing any add-on. It’s free and simple. There are thousands personas available for your browser. Since there was a lack of aviation related personas, I decided to create a new one that I named “Catapult shot”.

You can view and use it here:

If you are not using Firefox 3.6 yet, you can download it here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
FAQ about personas can be read here:

If you don’t want to upgrade to Firefox 3.6 but you still want to use personas, you can install the “Personas add-on”.

Below is how my Catapult Shot persona looks like on your browser.

1. FlightDreamz - February 18, 2012: Would rather see an F-14 Tomcat launching off the catapult myself, or maybe some U.S.A.F. planes?

About me

My name is David Cenciotti and I was born in Rome in 1975. I'm a freelance Aviation Journalist, Writer, Geek, Expert, Evangelist & Guru. I'm a private pilot, a former 2nd Lt. of the Aeronautica Militare (Italian Air Force, ItAF) and a graduate in Computer Engineering.

As a freelance journalist I’ve been writing since 1996 for major worldwide magazines covering military and civil aviation, defense, war, industry, intelligence, crime, and cyberwar.

My work has appeared on Air Forces Monthly, Revista Força Aérea, Fighter Tactics, Combat Aircraft, Aeronautica & Difesa, Airline, RID, Rivista Aeronautica, Airplanes and Tech News Daily, and I'm regularly interviewed by newspapers, televisions and radios.

Find out more information about my articles, books, interviews, citations and reports published all around the world here: http://theaviationist.com/newsstand/
and follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/cencio4

My pictures have been used not only to illustrate my articles, but also for magazine’s front covers, squadron and air forces’ calendars, websites, brochures and books.

During my career as a journalist, I have had the opportunity to fly with many aircraft (from supersonic jets to combat helicopters) and I'm one of the few civilians proudly wearing the “1 flight hour on the TF-104” patch to witness my flight with the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter.

I’m the author of four books; among them, the famous best-seller "Frecce Tricolori - an exciting 50 year flight" published by DeAgostini in 2010, the only official book of the Italian Air Force for the 50th Anniversary of the Frecce Tricolori display team.

As an Information Security opinion leader and expert, I have been working for more than 10 years with large organizations analyzing their network architectures, assets, threats, security requirements and procedures, to manage their risks by means of proper countermeasures. I'm a Lead Auditor ISO 27001, ITIL v3 certified, and I have several more professional certifications.

This weblog is a place to talk about Aviation, Defense, Information Security & Cyberwar, and much more.

It gets +5.000 unique visitors each day from all around the world.
