      The biggest overhaul of Mozilla's FireFox in a very long time, Firefox 57 "Quantum" releases today and changes major parts of how FF works including the handling of CSS, on screen page draws, and how the GPU is leveraged. It's a huge release and rumour is that it may be the lowest memory utilization of any major browser now.

          The tabs look different, fonts are a bit different, fit more Bookmarks on the toolbar, Taskbar icon is different. Cat theme still the same.

                You can the light theme. You have three default options: Default, Light, and Dark.

                  I just found that Synced tabs can show in a list down the side, pinned to the side.. that could be useful.

                    Just downloaded, I'm very impressed, you can defiantly see the speed increase compared to Chrome. I quite like the new look as well.

                      Set as default browser for a week so I can actually form a real opinion.

                        I think the default theme is ok, not too dark:

                          Did the same. I'm very pleased at how much faster it is then even Chrome was.

                            I may give this a try tonight and see how it does. Firefox 57 crashes on me on a consistent basis.

                                That kind of stuff is just frustrating.

                                    I'm sure that works, but the button in the UI moved from the right side of the URL bar to the left.

                                      edit> you can move it through Customize if you liked the old way

                                        I really don't care were it is.. but damn it - just leave it alone where it is. Stop moving it!

                                            I'm testing it out now too. Posting from it now. We'll see how it does.
