How's the new Firefox treating you?

[MrBlazito]

I like it, but have had some problems with message popping up saying a page is loading too slow and asking me if I want to stop it or wait. Never had this issue before. Otherwise, I like it.

[Casual_Shooter]

Some pages load slowly occasionally. I also lost the ability to print a pdf file straight from the browser (the old plug-in is not compatible with Quantum).

Otherwise, it seems a bit faster than before.

[CessnaDriver]

Seems to have memory leaks, starts to get slow. Also multiple instances seem to be running so when it does get slow I have to kill them one by one. Granted my PC is getting up there in age.

[RazoE]

Working great for me, especially with the new NoScript installed.

[Cody]

Definitely faster. So far so good.

[Anonreg_89323423]

Good but the new version of NoScript is a completely useless piece of junk, looks and acts nothing like the previous one. I was able to find NoScript Suite Lite to replace it.

Seems to last longer than before until the memory leaks kick in.

Then again, if on a 64 bit Windows version, it updated one to 64 bit if you were running 32 bit, so that might be a factor...

[wpage]

The price is right...

I dont like the fact that Mozilla has joined the ranks of every other tech company that pushes upgrades on the user without providing an option to opt out. I find the interface of the toolbar to be clumsy when using the Bookmarks and History features

[RazoE]

^ You can opt out in options. Same as before.

Quantum is on turbo speed. What's not to like. For youtube, though, MS Edge still plays videos better. F
F on my computers cant reliably handle 1080p. It drop frames. Maybe fault lies with my older computers.

After the update, I UPGRADED to 56.0.2 and disabled updates.

They have followed google and youtube down the drain. The squared off tabs look like crap and somehow it seems more monochrome like youtube has become.

Not being able to move the bookmarks star broke the camel's back.

The home button could be moved and a few other items, but not the star. On 56, the bookmarks menu and star are next to each other and I have them on the top left of the bookmarks toolbar. In 56, you can move menu items to a hidden folder of the hamburger menu and arrange what is left the way you want. Not anymore.

Too many of the addons will not work.

Firefox was about being open source and allowing the user to customize the layout and run addons to work more efficiently. They made major changes and came up with a GUI that is worse and didn't allow users an option for parts of the old layout or customizing.

This is just like win 10 with the vanishing scroll bars. It is bad enough that in 8.1 there is no contrast between the scroll bar and the program, and I haven't found a good way to fix it. Now in 10 they disappear but it adds nothing to the space or functionality and actually is a few steps backward as you can't see where you are on a page and have to wait for a stupid skinny scroll bar to reappear. Needless to say I have blocked win 10 from being able to install and run classic start menu and taskbar tweaker.

Hopefully, mozilla will figure it out and fix what is wrong with 57 before 56 is no longer usable.

The pocket deal was also a joke, as well as all the items at the end of the address bar to copy or share screenshots of the browser. It is useless crap for me, with no way to dump the extra icons. aboutconfig, iirc, had an option to disable pocket. Reviews on the web said it is not open source code, yet is tied into firefox. Why would I want some stupid thing to advertise to me and make suggestions? That sounds too much like stupidbook and all those other social media sites.

The new firefox and I didn't even make it through the first date!

Works well, is a little faster. No complaints.

[gdr_11]

After several days I went to the Extended Support Release version which is supposed to provide all of the upgraded security features with the look and feel of the older versions. Refreshed Firefox after the update and all is well once again. Oh, and I did disable the updates also.
