Firefox Quantum

[AndyB]

Firefox just introduced a major upgrade, Firefox Quantum 57.0.

The new version loads pages so much faster, it works great.

I do like it, massive improvement over previous versions.
I'll continue to use Chrome, however. Some extensions I need are not available on Firefox.

 

[RobParker]

Not sure how they've done it but it's FAST.

I always liked Firefox, but I still use Chrome, because of too many Firefox crashes in previous versions. I hope this one will be more stable. I like sync in Chrome and some extensions, but I'll look to switch to Firefox, also on mobile.

Firefox on mobile is ridiculously slow.

Actually just installed it on my tablet and playing around. Yes, not so impressed. Another thing why I like Chrome, because of the mobile app.

download it first day now i see only128mb memory use preview firefox use almost 2 gigabyte, so this firefox its awesome.

I hate it so far, looks horrible and it was installed without me even asking.

You no longer see when a download has finished, a feature I really used to like. So I will just stick to safari now.

I think that feature will come back. I like how fast it is. I have been running Firefox 58 for a while on nightly because I knew that it Quantum was coming.

It might not be in your toolbar. You definitely can still see when downloads are finished:

I like Firefox, but I'm not thrilled with the move toward an obviously mobile optimized style. This is taking some getting use to.

 

[AndyB]

One issue I had was the favicon.ico (toolbar location) would show the XenForo logo instead of the favicon.ico image. The fix was to create a logo.og.png for the site.

 

[Alpha1]

Yes, since xenforo ships with XenForo branded logo.og pretty much any xenforo site on the net now displays the XenForo logo in Firefox. I wonder if other browsers will follow and use the og instead.

 

[Chris D]

We've stopped setting the open graph logo (or metadata logo as we call it now) by default for clean installs, at least, so that shouldn't end up being a problem.

 

[AndyB]

Another great improvement is how quickly you can open and quit Firefox, now takes just a couple of seconds.

 

[Bread]

I completely moved from Chrome to the new Firefox Quantum and participated in the Beta.

It really is faster for me on all my desktops.

 

[trapped_soul]

Love it.

 

[Creaky]

Just upgraded today, liking it so far.

 

[Sadik B]

One thing I miss is FireBug. On Developer Tools, when you want to add some css, it doesn't autocomplete css class names depending on what you type which FireBug used to do. Other than that, yes it's a good improvement.

I've been using it since it came out. I'm liking it much better than the old Firefox. Gives me a good alternative to Chrome which I don't like.
