Mozilla claims its updated web browser is twice as fast as its last one, and uses a lot less memory than the competition—Google Chrome in particular. It’s called Firefox Quantum, and it might give the web’s most popular web browser a run for its money.

My brother in Canada left me an email this morning saying he has it and seems to like it. Now he was not a fan of Firefox even though he did download it. Prefers Chrome.

I haven't got it yet, well no updates from them since over a week ago?

I'm impressed. Media-rich sites seem to load noticeably quicker.

Quite a few add-ons aren't compatible, but I've found replacements for most of them. uMatrix seems like a great replacement for NoScript.

Well it arrived with me about 30 minutes ago.

One moan from me, my bookmarks all had separate folders such as shopping etc. Now I have one long list of all bookmarks. Will have nose and see about getting the folders back.:p

Been using it since yesterday, seems OK but I will have to find a new cookie manager I have just been trying "Cookie AutoDelete" and it doesn't seem to do the job.

I am suddenly getting this message when I click open Firefox.

[Exception... "Could not convert JavaScript argument arg 0 [nsISupports.QueryInterface]" nsresult: "0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS)" location: "JS frame :: resource://cck2/Preferences.jsm :: get _prefSvc :: line 544" data: no]

With a yellow triangle.

Anyone know what it is and how to make it go away.

Please very simple instructions.

Mine seems to have slowed down rather than speeded up.

Do you have loads of bookmarks, scattered all over the place? I did, been meaning to sort them for ages. Last night I downloaded 57 (which was faster immediately, but not as much as hoped) and set about Bookmarks. Deleted many sites I no longer use (or can visit whenever) and sorted more into folders on a 'like for like' basis.

NOW it's much faster!

I have not lost any Addons or Plugins, but I keep my eyes on them anyway. As they become "Legacy" I remove and look for newer, up to date alternatives.
