I'm on windows 7, the new version seems to keep spawning a process which grinds my machine to a halt. I've had to open task manager twice now to kill it. Only downloaded it 10 minutes ago.
Try starting Firefox in safe mode in case that's some broken extension: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-is...

Mozilla doesn't create all those extensions. And the extensions' authors had, what, two years advance warning or so? Criticize the real culpits, not Mozilla.
My browser and extensions did useful things yesterday that they do not do today. Who changed something in the meantime? Obviously I paid nothing for Firefox and Mozilla owes me the same nothing in return, but if it wants to keep users and remain significant, breaking arguably its main advantage might not be the best plan.
If you chose to update to the new version where you knew exactly what extensions would be running and which wouldn't... well, your fault.
Is there some super-compelling reason why FF doesn't let you inspect websocket frames? I was taking FF for a drive yesterday, based on the earlier thread, and it was nice until I started debugging my web app. I'm not interested in trusting a third party extension with all my network data either, so the plug-in to do this isn't an option. It's weird, but this really is a blocker for me for general use.
Part of the delay is the complete rewrite that most of the DevTools are undergoing. As we move from legacy, in-house solutions (XUL) to standard web technology (HTML/JS, React/Redux, etc.) as part of the "devtools.html" project: https://github.com/devtools-html/

You can change the theme to "light" in preferences. If should get rid of the black bar. This has been a common complaint from osx users.
Can't seem to find where it is in firefox preferences. Could you please extend your solution?
Can one run the new version alongside a previous version? I need to access occasionally extensions unsupported in the new version: namely Scrapbook and the extension that provides maff file support.
Currently no NoScript for Firefox 57. And no gestures if you are on Mac or Linux.
This is so close to great but can a mac snob ask how to get a more consistent UI experience out of firefox? I'm totally happy with how everything behaves inside the web panel but: 1. At a minimum I'd be happy with a toolbar icon set that was a little more in step with OS X design (but willing to hear if I just have misunderstanding of design :D) 2. As a reach, os-native menus or at least more native-style menus for t…
And I would add to this, if it is possible, integration with keychain

I will miss it and I'm not sure what to do next.
From the announcement post [1]: > As part of our focus on user experience and performance in Firefox Quantum, Google will also become our new default search provider in the United States and Canada. Does that mean the deal with Yahoo! has lapsed? And is there a new deal with Google, or no deal at all? (And what would be the revenue impact of that?) Edit: Just saw an announcement for this as well [2], with no word abo…
The details of these deals aren't generally public, so I don't expect to see any official answers about this.
> According to documents filed with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), Yahoo paid Mozilla $375 million in 2015, and is obligated for the same amount each year through 2019 under a five-year contract.
> Under terms of a contract that has been seen by Recode, whoever acquires Yahoo might have to pay Mozilla annual payments of $375 million through 2019 if it does not think the buyer is one it wants to work with and walks away.
For those who look for NoScript replacement, uMatrix[0] (from the maker of uBlock Origin) has got you covered (with "A Desperately Needed User’s Guide"[1]). [0] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/umatrix/ [1] http://adamantine.me/index.php/2015/11/18/umatrix-desperatel...
