Another 6 weeks another update. This one is pretty boring just a few privacy changes and some changes to webextension APIs and protocols. This would have been the ESR release but that got pushed back to may with firefox 60.

When are the 'Quantum' performance improvements (WebRender, etc.) going to show up in FF Android?
FF57 only brought on a cosmetic change, and they still called it 'Quantum'.
Zachary Lee
>Experimental Tab Hiding API is available.
So it should be possible to complete this plugin soon: addons.mozilla.org
Connor Martin
Good
Luis Sanchez
Does that mean WATERFOX gets it too
Tyler Young
If waterfox decides to base off firefox 59 yes. If I recall it's based off pre 57 right now. Isn't there also an ESR version of waterfox?
Camden Howard
Actually I know that waterfox backports updates from new releases so it should get it
Eli Lewis
Firefox and android is fast for me. Have you updated? Im on 58
Ryder Diaz
And retards thought firefox wouldnt keep working on APIs with the major overhaul. Theres still a lot coming.
Ayden Ross
I can't wait for icecat 60 to be released
Joshua Mitchell
>incompatible webextension extensions
why bother? no, why change to webextensions in the first place if it will remain a broken shit api anyway?
>inb4 security
oh noes, something ive installed on my computer has access to the computer OoO
Chase Brown
Not only is it more secure, see container tabs, but its a lot more stable. They dont have to worry about breaking extensions because of the smallest update either. Have you researched any of this?
Its still a WIP but I know you'll keep being a salty nigger about it.
Gavin Sanchez
Here's the patrician version for windings plebs

they need to get rid of the rust dependency tho

its because rust is bloat and the ui comes with ugly spaces too.
Aiden Cruz
Use GNU/Icecat please
Nolan Adams

And NO
Brayden Allen
I'm on the latest beta (v59b15). It is nowhere as fast as Chrome or Brave, although it is much faster than it was 6-12 months ago.
Jace Gomez
its going to get the rust bloat too
Adam Peterson
With all the techies switching to Waterfox and Pale Moon and normies to Chrome there isn't much reason for Firefox to exist. XUL forever.
Isaiah Brown
Meant to reply to you (instead of myself):
Lucas Bailey
On my device they are about equal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lol, without firefox, waterfox and palemoon would stagnant since they wont have new code to stea- implement.
Ryder Lee
None of the 'techies' outside of you ne/g/beards are considering moving to any trash forks of FFx.
Wyatt Cooper
Well then what do I switch to when ESR 52 dies this september?
Isaac Evans
It is obvious. Switch to trunk. Grow up and find more important things to worry about.
Nathan Brooks
>typical "secure&stable" response
memory consumption and process spawning stats would disagree but believe in what you want
>They dont have to worry about breaking extensions because of the smallest update either.
sjwzilla literally they broke every single addon with the introduction of webextension, under the premise that it would allow addon installation between different browser vendors. it is not the case, never was and by the looks of it NEVER WILL
>Have you researched any of this?
>researched
how much is sjwzilla paying you for this post?
Isaac Diaz
So much ignorance in one post. Impressive.
Also
>muh resource usage
lol
Jayden Young
So when is Mozilla going to fix their horribly broken vsync?
Ryder Mitchell
>no tab crash stats
>lol
outstanding
Nolan Richardson
>memory consumptio
only on windows
it's the same on linux
number of processes could be a factor
Andrew Foster
Different user, but I havent had a crash yet. How to show them?
Colton Cook
forgot pic related
Bentley Edwards
THANKS MOZILLA
Robert Anderson
>ignorance
you are the ignorant one here
stop regurgitating everything they pay you to say
Jacob Powell
Did firefox 59 drop GTK2 like it was supposed to?
James Campbell
No user, you are retarded.
Tyler Rodriguez
yes
Anthony Reed
no csd tho
Austin Flores
Really?
Connor Cox
>vsynctester.com
what a load of crap
there is no tearing in the linux version since 57(?)
Jayden Jenkins
Can the window title bar on Linux finally be hidden in this version so the window controls are on the same line as the tabs like it has been on Windows forever
Oliver Rivera
use KDE and set the window decorations and borders to be hidden
James Gutierrez
What the fuck?
Leo Hall
no sale until they bring back legacy addons :^)
Jace Gutierrez
hardware acceleration completely fucked in this release
do they even test this shit
Jordan Reed
t. Mozilla
Luke Roberts
HEY LET'S COMPLETELY FUCK UP THE MAJORITY OF ADDONS AND REDUCE THE ABILITY OF MANY THAT REMAIN TO MODIFY AND CUSTOMIZE THE BROWSER
because we know what you want from our browser better than you ;^D
Charles Lee
Are you faggots unironically excited about a browser update. I can't imagine how empty your lives must be
Nicholas Clark
Thanks mozilla
Joshua Bennett
no, because it's necessary.
Hunter Davis
This update killed mozilla.cfg for me.
Zachary Gonzalez
What happened?
Jason Jackson
I get the "Failed to read the configuration file" error. Removing both the configuration js and cfg solves the issue, but obviously I lose the settings that are changed.
I just rolled back to a previous version of firefox and everything works fine, so it's something in 59 that is fucked, which by now isn't surprising at all.
Justin Watson
Weird, no issues on W10 or Xubuntu here
Dominic Watson
Ive been trying to switch people to Firefox. If the normies are going to use any piece of software, it ought to be FOSS. Support FOSS in anyway you can, Sup Forums
It’s just as powerful as Chrome anyway.
Carson Myers
What the hell, ctrl+f doesn't work anymore.
Aiden Gomez
>tfw still using firefox 55
it just werks.
Jeremiah King
of course they did. no point using a poor man's chrome
Ryder Turner
Thank you, user. This addon looks pretty cool.
I wonder why it only has ~60 users.
Noah Bailey
does this group tabs by trees, or is it just a label you put them under? can you move multiple tabs into or out of the labels? can you copy url of multiple tabs?
is there a firefox quantum extension to load a bunch of urls at once (like addons.mozilla.org
David Williams
I imagine it's because right now there are a ton of new WE addons being created, so it's hard to be noticed among them (especially with such a generic name and shitty icon).
Also it only started working today on the mainstream release.
>does this group tabs by trees, or is it just a label you put them under?
It doesn't make trees like TreeStyleTabs but it puts them under a group and hides the ones in te other groups from the tab bar.
>can you move multiple tabs into or out of the labels
yes.
You can select them with ctrl/shift+click and drag them to another group.
>can you copy url of multiple tabs?
I don't think so.
I use FoxyTab for that (among other things).
>is there a firefox quantum extension to load a bunch of urls at once (like addons.mozilla.org
I don't know, but it'd be useful.
I always did this by dragging them into a bookmark folder then copying the bookmarks, but I imagine if you needed to copy hundreds of urls it could get tiring.
Josiah Taylor
Isaiah Ramirez
>Also it only started working today on the mainstream release.
Make sense.
I just noticed it's bugged as fuck, it doesn't preserve groups on browser restart. There's no point in using it now.
Sebastian Johnson
You can open the URLs with this:
addons.mozilla.org
Asher Brown
this copies text to url. i want to copy the urls of the address bar/current opened tabs and save them to a text file
also fucking 4chanx. i started getting captcha errors yesterday or so, and even after switching to tampermonkey they're still happening
David Gomez
Is there any better addon available?
Hudson Hernandez
Then you can use this:
addons.mozilla.org
Benjamin Thompson
when you open a tab in a group, does it open the new tab beside the current one? or is it thrown outside the groups and you have to move it inside one? i recall trying quantum before and that was how the one extension that had a similar feature worked, and it was terrible
Lucas Kelly
>its because rust is bloat
implying the masses care about stuff like this. it's more like 'muh deprecated extensions' -- and i can sympathize with that. fuck firefox quantum
Connor Perez
>when you open a tab in a group, does it open the new tab beside the current one? or is it thrown outside the groups and you have to move it inside one?
It opens it in the current group (or if you have the sidebar open you can click on the "+" button on a group's title to open it there).
Luke Hall
Is in on Nightly?
Brody Mitchell
Anons, why do you use a subpar webbrowser?

This is on the same level as Windows 10 cancer. I really see no fucking reason to use Firefox. Why do you?
Jose Butler
because the other browsers are worse. firefox was the linux of browsers, before mozilla fucked it up
Isaac Morales
Fuck, I just noticed now.
Oh well, the way I use it (as a replacement for Tab Groups) it's not really a problem.
I can just move them back to the right group after restoring the session if I have to.
There's a github for it if you want to open an issue:
github.com
Anthony Bennett
>anime group separated from entertainment
Liam Nelson
>Oh well, the way I use it (as a replacement for Tab Groups) it's not really a problem.
Not really a problem? I'd like to use it as a panorama replacement too, but I can't fix >100 tabs every time I have to restart the browser.
If it doesn't remember witch tab is in witch group I'd say it's totally useless.
Juan White
wrong
Justin Howard
The only add-on I want is Vimperator.
Oliver Gray
firefox is infested with drm, cliqz/pocket spyware malware, telemetry will ignore user settings to disable it, mr robot adware and fake news in the newtab... its honestly far worse than google is.
there is a dire need for something like iceweasel that strips out all the cancer; but even that would be pointless as the performance of quantum is horrible, and leaks all kinds of fingerprinting crap and does nothing to resolve the hacky kludges of global menu and gtk/qt integration.
ill miss the addons, but i think its finally time to kiss firefox goodbye
Jaxon James
>wiretapping your distro
Levi Morales
Firefox > Chrome
More control and speeds are about the same. Chrome cant properly block ads and doesnt have as many good extensions and shit UI control. The fact that Chrome is a major ad company with a browser that will gather your data no matter what is should be enough reason not to use it.
Julian Stewart
try vimium
Gavin Myers
>ill miss the addons, but i think its finally time to kiss firefox goodbye
And exchange it with what, exactly?
Ethan Brown
short term, any number of firefox derivatives: iicecat, palemeem, seamonkey, cyberfox, kmeleon, or basilisk for as long as they support necessary addons, but longer term (most of these will be kill without upstream) qupzilla adblock/greasemonkey support might be the only sustainable option, shit as it is
Ethan Ross
nope but you're free to load any up to date distro [ not gnome or kde; x11 no compositor, something with i3 ] and get firefox to prove me wrong
Robert Powell
protip
>you can't
Sebastian Lewis
Stable. Tried safe mode with clean profile but same shit.
Cooper Richardson
