So I've already been using this for a few hours, and other than different icon aesthetics and font, I don't notice a difference. They said it would be faster, it's not running faster, disappointed...
On top of that I can't use NoScript or Flagfox plugins. Yeah I know there is a new NoScript released, but no auto update of it.
Yeah and that icon of history and bookmarks look like crap, literally looks like stacked turds, rather than books on a shelf.
I have a FX6300 with 8GB of RAM and the speedometer benchmark thing gives me 52~60 runs, I have no idea how people are getting 90+

There is no changes to anything that matters for people like us who were already using ad-blocking or script blocking add-ons. For us all they did was break a ton of add-ons and themes and make useless cosmetic changes.
They probably also reset the version number (because Quantum is just that much better that it's like a new program) for more pleb appeal.
Brandon Myers
Firefox Quantum literally does nothing if you already block ads.
The majority of the "faster" bullshit just helps scripts track your browsing history faster anyways.
John Wood
>They said it would be faster, it's not running faster They said that it gets twice the score on speedometer compared to six months ago. That is true.
So far: >Stylish is broken, >Click&Clean has no replacement >NoScript needs to be updated >facebook disconnect is broken >Rights to Close is broken (literally the best FF addon, double right click to close tabs, perfect for quickly saving a bunch of pics) >My two spider/crawler addons are broken >Vimium is broken.
FUCKING NORMIES REEEEEEEEEEEE GET OFF MY INTERNET REEEEEEEEEEEEE FUCK OFF
>Stylish Use Stylus. It's only broken if you used it for browser themes. In that case just put the entire thing into userChrome.css >Click&Clean Literally built into the browser. >facebook disconnect uBlock >double right click to close tabs Middle click >vim Required APIs have been approved and are in the works.
Wyatt Robinson
>wanting extensions that do useful things
sorry goy, you have to go back
Jaxson Thompson
no option to use it's own built in window decorations yet in linux. i just want more vertical space back.
Lincoln Rodriguez
Sup Forums X is broken through grease, violent and tampermonkey. Can't watch threads on greasemonkey unless you refresh the page a couple of times, can't use shortcuts on tampermonkey at all, and it doens't even load of violentmonkey.
Landon Bailey
I'd be fine with the new firefox except for the permanent removal of the old non one-click-search.
Fuck I hate the new search bar with a passion.
Thomas Lopez
#TabsToolbar { -moz-box-ordinal-group: 2; } If you have tabs in titlebar enabled you'll also need to add a margin to the url bar because it overlaps with the window buttons.
Benjamin Richardson
It sucks out loud. I backed it out. Only 4 of my 21 addons worked. Maybe I'll put on one of my older desktops and play with replacements in my free time, but I fear some can't/won't be replaced. > : (
Dominic Green
I've been using it on windows and xbuntu since it came out on both my work and personal computers. It's a massive fucking improvement as far as I'm concerned. The only extensions I use are ublock origin and tampermonkey for 4chanx, so breaking compatibility with a bunch of addons isn't an issue for me.
Previous versions of firefox were laggy pieces of shit for anything more intensive than reading plain text on every computer I tried them on. The new one is as smooth as chrome and chromium. I'm really happy with it.
Blake Brown
The motherfuckers even resetted a bunch of settings from about:config, I had to trawl the net to refind the each prompt that I needed to modify.
Colton Powell
mozilla doesn't care about power users anymore desu
Jordan Hughes
People like you don't understand browsers,and u don't understand browsers security.
But hey enjoy your bullshit.
Jacob Adams
It's a lot faster on all my computers. Seems as fast as Chrome now.
Evan Ortiz
I'm not even a power user.
I just want to be able to middle click and have the previous tab open instead of a new tab. Is that too much to ask? I never knew how useful Tab Mix Plus was until I lost it, RREEEEEE
Asher Nguyen
>Required APIs have been approved and are in the works. source? would be nice to follow the progress of this
Sebastian Miller
As somebody with 18,000 bookmarks, this version of Firefox is significantly smoother.
Xavier Young
>18,000 bookmarks Why would you do this to yourself?
I fucking hate this shit, the previous version was working fine
Jason Myers
In order to notice it running faster you'd have to have a slow computer. As it stands, everything runs fast anyways, so it's an imperceptible increase. More so for efficiencies sake.
I've been using it a day now and the only thing I've noticed is that I got an extra 40 minutes of browsing on battery. My Alienware 13 R3 is not known for its battery life, though so it is nice to get 5.5 hours instead of just 5 when using Chrome. Weird, though, since when I run comparisons the difference in CPU, GPU and RAM usage is... marginal at best.
Aaron Clark
>tfw Chrome locks up when I try to view my bookmarks maybe I should switch back to firefox
Austin Hall
Agreed.
David Rogers
>In order to notice it running faster you'd have to have a slow computer.
This is absolute horseshit. Old version of ff would lag and stutter on literally every computer I ever tried them on. Despite it's meme tier name, quantum is a gorillion times faster and smoother than any other version of ff I've used since version 3.0.
Xavier Gray
what do you expect when a bunch of cuck sjws take over
Carter Bell
How's Brave by the way?
John Martin
shit
Jackson Flores
I can understand 18.000 bookmarks a lot more than those who unironically keep 1000 tabs open.
Cooper Turner
>In order to notice it running faster you'd have to have a slow computer. Far from it, I have a pretty fast computer, and the previous version would hang up bad if you started watching videos. I'd have to close and reload the browser a couple of times a day
James Campbell
Tried it too, can confirm
Cameron Phillips
It feels...slightly faster. That's it.
Nathaniel Gomez
that would be a stupid thing to say chrome's addons have more functionality and actually work
Christopher Green
All my pre-57 addons work on my pre-57 FF.
Nathan Nguyen
>People like you don't understand browsers,and u don't understand browsers security so you're saying he can easily get hired by mozilla?
Nolan Ross
>Uses Noscript instead of Umatrix.
You are normie
Landon Martin
>not using both
lmao
Xavier Green
>uMatrix >the addon that can't even handle tags and the developer is too lazy to fix it lol
Luis Russell
enjoy while it lasts it won't be long
Juan Powell
>fuck over developers forcing them to rebuilt their entire addons from the ground up without even having the API to do it This is great news for chrome users since every dev who isn't an idiot will just rebuild their addons for chrome instead and enjoy a much bigger marketshare instead of the 20% or less that still use firefox
Tyler Walker
Till what? I disabled updates.
Wyatt White
Using it currently. It's ok. Faster than Chrome. It was faster than Firefox but I'll have to test against Quantum.
It's kind of barebones but mostly functional. I
Carson Campbell
until you're forced to changed by a 0day exploit
Robert Bennett
What should I use to replace Self-Destructing Cookies? Also, how do I get rid of the stupid pocket icon in the URL bar?
Jaxson Parker
Why not both?
Leo Foster
Disregard the second question, I'm a faggot
Lincoln Hughes
>had no idea about this >FF upgrades to Quantum >FF is now laggy and freezes >uninstall it and reinstall 56 Am I the only one who had any trouble with it?
Ryder Taylor
Might as well ask this here. Is there anyway to get rid of this?
Maybe that's just a glitch. I've noticed something like that from time to time. Usually it's a pixilated square in the upper left.
Michael Bennett
It's so you have a spot to drag the window around with. I don't think it appears if you have the menu enabled because then you already have a spot to grab it.
Brayden White
"update" aka Chrome Fork
Isaac Clark
>double right click to close tabs You are mentally and physically retarded.
Chase Fisher
Qutebrowser using the new Webrender backend.
David Diaz
I'm not really liking Soyfox 57.
Next they will add a Instagram toolbar.
Anthony Sanders
when they advertise 2x faster speeds and show a video of Firefox Quantum still losing to chrome in literally half of the tests.. and when they do beat chrome it's by maybe feelsbad.png
Colton James
does anyone know how the fuck can i import the toolbar bookmarks from chrome in order to firefox?? i did it but it fucks up the order and i hate it...
Benjamin Lewis
>quantum killed my favorite addons >try chrome >chrome has no bookmark sidebar so it shits its pants with my 8000 bookmarks
why
Anthony Stewart
You would be pretty based if you posted your bookmark collection
Landon Gutierrez
how do i put tabs and url bar in titlebar?
Kayden Sullivan
>wanting a bunch of doujins, erp profiles, imgur albums, font sites
Chrome has even less API's than Firefox, and they will outright ban any extension that they dislike from anything that uses the Chrome App Store to get extensions, no devs will flock to them Most devs ragequitted during the last 2 years since Mozilla gave zero fucks about them, now that they are barely starting to implement new API's some new devs are coming in Still, the damage it's already done, by the time the new API's and extensions are ready no one will care, people will just run some Chromium fork, or smaller browsers like Qutebrowser and Pale Moon, perhaps even Netrunner will be usable by then, and most extension devs are already on one of those or just dropped browser extension development
Julian Richardson
there will always be new devs
Jason Gray
best browser on mobile, good but not great yet on desktop
Christopher Brooks
Because it's FREE.
Adam Rogers
No proper replacement for either. Thank god you can revert.
Robert Thompson
this is what i have, but was hoping for a diferent method. any idea why they are using vw instead of pixel widths?
Anthony Howard
quantum uses too much cpu on idle
Thomas Myers
Aiming for perfect 50% representation for unused processor cycles. You just hate diversity. Bigot.
Juan Brooks
This works, but it causes issues when rearranging tabs. It also causes a black line between the menu bar and navigation bar, but only in conjunction with something to remove the grey highlighting of the navigation bar.
Ryan Cooper
Never mind. Solved.
Joshua Bell
got an i3-6100 and 8GB of RAM and I have 83.9
Quantum is also much faster than previously yeah.
Aaron Hill
*QtWebEngine
Jackson Johnson
>in Firefox pre-57, having numerous extensions installed was known to slow down your browser >Firefox 57 broke all of said extensions >Firefox 57 appears faster because it's free of extensions Pretty genius
Lucas Carter
I have the same box on mine
Easton Thomas
Fuck. What's the firefox setting that stops it from writing a ridiculous amount of sessions to your SSD?
Jack Garcia
Well, it's faster for me too and I only used like 4 extensions, 3 of which are already ported to webextension. I mean, if FF 57 is not faster than 56 for you, then it is almost certainly some problem on your end.
Isaac Miller
Shit, is there anything to be done other than just wait?
Is there a way to restore the old tab style? Or can I at least change the color of inactive tabs? Fuck this black shit, it's distracting me
Bentley Fisher
>Fuck this black shit, it's distracting me Shills claiming that no matter how disruptive it is for you, you should applaud any change from Firefox team in 3.. 2.. 1..
Alexander Moore
If you look under customize there should be themes you can load in.
Matthew Gutierrez
Im just going to wait for some Quantum fork before I try it. How long until it happens?
Nolan Carter
Why..?
Landon Sanchez
I did, Sup Forums X is still fucked. I think it's something fucked between it and the newer versions of grease/tampermonkey
Zachary Allen
I use Greasemonkey 3.17 and Sup Forums X 1.13.14.8 from Sup Forums-x.net/builds/Sup Forums-X.meta.js
Kayden Wilson
I just installed it its lighting fucking fast
but NoScript is not supported that is real tragedy
Kevin Richardson
Well that might explain it. I updated to .7 earlier today and thought that'd be it until tomorrow. Didn't think a second update would be pushed out a few hours later
