The Firefox Quantum browser is based on a next-generation engine that is built for modern multi-CPU and GPU-based PCs.
New
- A completely new browsing engine, designed to take full advantage of the processing power in modern devices
- A redesigned interface with a clean, modern appearance, consistent visual elements, and optimizations for touchscreens
- A unified address and search bar. New installs will see this unified bar.
- A revamped new tab page that includes top visited sites recently visited pages, and recommendations from Pocket (in the US, Canada, and Germany)
- An updated product tour to orient new and returning Firefox users
- AMD VP9 hardware video decoder support for improved video playback with lower power consumption
- An expanded section in preferences to manage all website permissions
Fixed
- Various security fixes
Changed
- Firefox now exclusively supports extensions built using the WebExtension API, and unsupported legacy extensions will no longer work.
- The browser’s auto-scroll feature, as well as scrolling by keyboard input and touch-dragging of scrollbars, now uses asynchronous scrolling. These scrolling methods are now similar to other input methods like the mouse wheel and provide a smoother scrolling experience
- The content process now has a stricter security sandbox that blocks filesystem reading and writing on Linux, similar to the protections for Windows and macOS that shipped in Firefox 56
- Middle mouse paste in the content area no longer navigates to URLs by default on Unix systems
- Removed the toolbar Share button. If you relied on this feature, you can install the Share Backported extension instead.
- Some older versions of the ATOK IME, including ATOK 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2010, can cause crashes and are therefore disabled on the Windows 64-bit version of Firefox Quantum. To fix those incompatibility issues, please use a newer version of ATOK or one of the other IMEs.
- The default font for the Japanese text is now Meiryo
Developer
- Complete visual refresh of both the Light and Dark DevTools themes, matching the new visual style of Firefox Quantum
- The Inspector shows the values of CSS variables on the hover
- Completely new and re-designed Console panel. Joining the Debugger and the Network Monitor, the Console has been rewritten using modern web technologies such as React and Redux. It now also allows the inspecting of objects in context.
unresolved
- Users running Firefox for Windows over a Remote Desktop Connection (RDP) may find that audio playback is disabled due to increased security restrictions.
- Users running screen readers may experience performance issues and are advised to use Firefox ESR until performance issues are resolved in an upcoming future release
- On Windows and Linux, Firefox crashes occasionally on Intel Broadwell-U processors with old microcode. Windows users should ensure Windows Update is set to install updates. Linux users should ensure that the distribution package for Intel microcode is installed.
