A couple of days ago, Firefox released it latest Browser....Firefox Quantum. It is free, and is supposed to be substantially faster than previous versions of Firefox. I downloaded/installed it a couple of days ago, and have been bouncing between Chrome and Quantum. Quantum seems to be as fast as Chrome now....a Real Improvement. Quantum is supposed to be released automatically over the next few weeks, but if you want to try it now, here is the link to get it.

I installed Quantum yesterday, and it is faster than the previous version. One thing that disappointed me was that some extensions that I like don't work now. Firefox says they no longer meet their standards, whatever that means.

Same here - Quantum wiped out all my add-ons except Ad Block, but then, every new release of FF would usually delete a couple. I can live without them.

Thanks Don, I may try it out. I used Palemoon for ages and it was fast, but incompatible with a few things, so went back to FF;)
 
Firefox seemed to automatically download it on my computer without me doing anything. It does seem a bit faster so far, got some notice about my Norton security extensions, didn't click on anything, wasn't sure about it.
 
I've been using it for a few days. It's much faster, which I like because I'm not known for my patience. So far I haven't missed any add-ons but I'll do what I did with previous upgrades, wait a while and then shop for add-ons that work with the new version.
 
Ok, I'm liking the update already, they brought in "flexible space". Palemoon had it and so I was a little bummed when I went back to FF, but this is looking great DonM, thanks much;)

Same here.
And I hate it. Very uncooperative, ugly format, etc. etc.
So I went to the support forum to find out how to go back to the previous version. Still, I'm continuing to get requests to download/update.
 
Tried it,but so many of my AddOns not compatible,and use them most of the time,so reverted back to previous version..BTW never had a speed issue with Firefox...(Any version)
