It's not clear enough what the difference between these things are:

* Add-ons

* Extensions

* Plug-ins

* Themes

* Appearance

* Personas

Same applies to Chrome too, to an extent:

  - Extensions
  - Apps
  - Plugins
  - Themes

I think with Chrome, aside from Plugins, it's pretty clear. Extensions add stuff to the browser, Apps are applications, and Themes make the browser pretty (or ugly).
