Persona categories represented with the six buttons on the Select Firefox Theme dialog (Options > Personalization > Own theme) are not actually bringing themes from those categories, but just bringing search results based on the search terms, pretty randomly. * Instead: - We should have categories mapped to actual categories of firefox themes - The results should be brought based on some criteria like download number - We should have more categories. Firefox themes have these categories: Abstract, Causes, Fashion, Film and TV, Firefox, Foxkeh, Holiday, Music, Nature, Other, Scenery, Seasonal, Solid, Sports, Websites * Maybe we can use a dropdown list, instead of buttons, for categories. * And we should also consider that most downloaded themes from some categories might not be safe for work.

(See the fashion category) Fashion is NSFW? Hard to believe that FF can use things where LibO doesn't. My take is to not use categories at all but provide the search function. If the user searches for "music" the result could be the same as clicking on the category.

That's the point of this bug report. Currently the buttons just run search queries like you described, but they don't necessarily bring results from those categories. It is just a keyword search. IMHO, if we are calling them categories they should bring results from actual categories.

That's a different topic. This was about fixing the current mismatch in the behaviour. Let's discuss that in the next meeting then? (Maybe starting with the question of Why?) I think categories are good for giving people choices.
I prefer predefined categories that users can easily select. Users mostly don't know how or what to search for. So this would ease the use of Firefox themes. How these categories are presented is a detail for that I've no idea. The existing button concept is good for few categories and easy to use. But this doesn't work anymore when having two levels of search fine-adjustment -- first categories and then rating, date, whatever.
From UX/design meeting 2018-Oct-17: * Persona categories are not actual categories (Options) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120475 + drop categories and provide search only (Heiko) + keep categories to offer some ideas where to start (Muhammet, Thomas, Cor) => go with a dropdown that lists all categories from Mozilla

If the items in the dropdown list can be implemented in another way (e.g. as buttons as today if the quantity of items allows that) then I prefer this instead of using a dropdown list.
