Mozilla Firefox, new releases, Add-Ons, tips for customisation

Just got another update for FF57, still saying beta channel but no beta build number

EDIT - Candidate build 3
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/candidates/57.0-candidates/build3/

 

of coarse I still using avast I to lazy to change to BD free, there was update to Avast yesterday on my uncles pc, it sure didnt fix the slow as image loading the current avast has had for like 6 months in the main menu. i will check and see if it fixed gmail website issue

is FF57 holding up to it speed hype of being faster then chrome?

 

It is for me, better IMO

I look foward to testing it on my uncles pc..

 

For those with Firefox 57.0 who were (like me) tinkering with processCount integer via about:config and now don't have neither AdBlock Plus icon in toolbar menu or/and Option button for AdBlock Plus in Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions menu + on the top of that AdBlock is completely unfunctional make sure to via about:config revert this integer: dom.ipc.processCount.extension ..to default value: 1

After that close or restart Firefox and AdBlock Plus is there again on toolbar, same as Option for it, enter Option menu and configure filters as you wish.

Other three integers with processCount in their names set as you wish, most important one: dom.ipc.processCount ...definitely likes higher values, lets say number of cores/threads your CPU has, I think everybody here already are aware of this.

 

This is now better than chrome, finally.

 

As always, thanks for the links, but NoScript still won't run on Firefox Quantum.

 

Coming through now, just updated

 

Need to wait for the NoScript dev to update the addon

 

Just downloaded Firefox Quantum for testing...I am long time Chrome user with no problems.

 

Yep, out of some 11 - 14 Add-ons here on my side total of 4 are fully working so far after switching to Firefox 57.0, other 2/3 of Add-ons I was using are on hold for now in non-functional legacy extensions group. Nothing to be panicked about, although I miss additional TabMixPlus options and Classic Theme Restorer options for full customization but guess it'll pass few days, week or two maybe for most of well known Add-ons and devs are going to rewrite/update those to meet WebExtensions standards. Guess there are still some workarounds to enable legacy Add-ons on Firefox 57 (hate to bother, does extensions.legacy.enabled ...via: about:config ...works in FF57?) but this time I'm not gonna mess with it, I'll wait as long as it should for all needed Add-ons to be updated.

So far speed and everything else about Firefox Quantum is really impressive if you ask me, no problems so far.

 

Only add-on i use is uBlock

 

No way to enable legacy addons now afaik, I was using it for multiprocess & legacy in FF56 but it didn't work with 57

I went from over a dozen addons to 6 and tbh I don't miss the others, only one I hope gets updated was an image rehoster addon that allowed me to right click any image on any site and rehost it to imgur having the new URL copied to clip in the process, was handy for making new build threads etc

 

gona missing the full theme's I really hate the current "themes" "dark" theme like all the other themes like this DONT change the color the drop down menu's or change the color the "options" menus. which one of the MAIN reason why I used the FULL THEMES

"Dark" theme that use tons of white are not "dark"

 

I want my old start page back. yah i dont like this new lay out and I hate it even more cause the "dark" theme dont make everything dark like the full themes did

 

I was using ChromeFX, so just using the default one now that it started with, and the Black Gray White / Desktop, Mobile Theme (Persona) i found.

 

I use FlashStopper Extension in FF56.
And now that extension Not compatible with FF57Firefox Quantum

 

I will have to check it out but if i cant find "theme" that makes the drop down menus dark along with the other menus, Im gona be annoyed for quite some time. I knew this coming and was hoping my wasnt gona trigger my OCD but it did.
