The new Firefox
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/11/15/mozilla_interview/ The comments are worth the read. Some are sticking with older versions since many add ons will not work. One of the best comments was about how browsers can't be customized to your own taste. I still like menu bars on browsers which I why I don't cozy up to Chrome. It seems too many things are resembling phone apps.

Mine just updated to the new Firefox Quantum (57) Lost 2 add ones, but one is being updated so that's fine. Couldn't stand the sharp square corners on the tabs, so that was the first thing that had to go, it was an easy fix, create a folder, create a file, copy paste contents and restart. Anything else is just small things that will disappear as I get used to the new one and forget the old. But the main thing is it is smoking fast compared to the previous version, it is very noticeable, fast and smooth, they mentioned it's speed in the blurb and I thought yeah yeah, but it was true. Onward and upward. kitekrazy1

Firefox Quantum is certainly fast and smooth. I didn't like the defaut layout, but that was an easy fix using the Customise 'drag and drop' system.

That's what I forgot how to do  . Really my only issue was the sharp square corners on the tabs, thankfully back to the nice curves now and all good.

My only complaints so far are the loss of NoScript (but the devs say they are only a day or so away from releasing the new one so I'm pretty happy about that) and FlashGot/DownloadThemAll and how some things like browser history in the menu have been moved around and take more steps to get to. Otherwise, everything is running smooth.

DownThemAll is being worked on. I mustn't understand about the 'Browser History' in the menu, as mine is axactly the same as previous.

If you 'left click' the menu at the top right hand side of the browser and select 'Customise' you can add / remove items from the 'more tools' (>>) menu using 'drag and drop'. You can also drag existing items (such as the browser history, home and refresh icons) to new positions.  Don't forget to click the 'Done' button to save the settings.

I was using Chrome and still mostly do by force of habit. Recently the software I use to remote access systems wouldn't load correctly. Turns out a Chrome update was the problem. This has happened twice within the last month.
Firefox was the only stable browser to use with it until they could figure out what the problem was. If Chrome fails to load a program properly, Firefox has never yet failed me and seems more stable overall than Chrome.

All three are being worked on but annoying that they didn't get this done before it was released. Nightly has been using the new system for a while and all extension developers had over a year warning. Mine is making me go through a parent Library menu. https://i.imgur.com/tgFLfjj.png

It can be added to the bar but I have that pretty loaded already and prefer having it in the menu drop down.

ScriptBlock Suite Lite is by a different developer who is trying to get downloads off the name of NoScript. That's dodgy. Giorgio is working on getting the new one out right now.

I'm digging the new FF. It's faster and I enjoy some of the features over Chrome.
I'm glad they did an overhaul as the other was getting a bit long in the tooth. I think it's time for a Chrome refresh as well.

The new FF doesn't work for me. It just sits in the system tray like it's minimised - but you can't actually get it in to a "window". It looks like it's actually just displaying a FF icon and nothing more.
I just downgraded to ver 56 and set it to not update for now.
My laptop did the same thing so I don't know what's up here. I even tried disabling all my add ons - but it still does the same.

You must do it different than I, the pic you gave is what I get if I go through the "Open Menu' thingy on the upper right(icon with 3 horizontal lines)I've never used that, if I click 'History' in the 'Menu Bar' it the same as it's always been, as is clicking the History Icon in the Toolbar, which is this

I never use the Menu Bar up on top either. I want all my screen space so I disable it. I've been doing that as long as I can remember. Probably since it was first introduced. Up on top on the left of the three lines is a little icon. Click that and a side bar will open with all the Bookmark stuff there.

Yes, what I'm saying is that they grouped everything now so it takes 3 clicks to get to. Just an annoying thing to me. I added a library button to my toolbar so now I can access it a bit faster but will take some getting used to.

I'm on the Firefox ESR 32bit. I really want to try Quantum but hate to lose some of my add-ons and am just a little chicken about switching currently.
Purrrfect Audio DAW here. Wow!...
