I'm using it now. So far it's got Chrome beat all to hell. I really like the speed.

I've downloaded it and must admit I am really liking it so far! I agree with others have said, atm its performance is beating the current version of chrome (atleast for me). I like the fact that Google and Mozilla are actively pushing one another, in the end we are the ones that benefit

I like its black theme

there is a problem between avast and firefox 61

1468892 - SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG with Avast intercepting TLS 1.3 connections

I have fixed it with deactivated "https scanning"

Probably because in this new FF61: On-by-default support for the latest draft of the TLS 1.3 specification

So, as a temporal workaround You may try to disable TLS 1.3 in FF and check...

shouldve beaten chrome ages ago by comparing cpu +ram it eats than chrome does

Dunno if just 1 update in past 12 years could do wonders

edit: just did read their blog, and gonna install firefox and have deep insight maybe as secondary browser instead of edge

Hey, how u guys are turning on the dark theme? unable to find it.

Edit: I found it

 

[Janl1992l]

Uhm i used long time google chrome. I cant believe what firefox have done. It feels realy faster than chrome here on my machine. Only thing slower is the start from the browser. Cant believe i would ever say firefox beats chrome in speed for pageload etc. And the dark theme is realy nice+way more costumizable. Seems like i just found a new main browser.

You can use Dark Mode extension for more customization of your theme in Chrome/FF

Add-on - Dark Mode (WebExtension)

Firefox is very stable, as fast as chrome.. but maybe the ram it uses is the reason of stability
Also the default font is more pleasant to read than chrome + privacy over google

But unused ram is wasted ram, right?

Does this version works well with Sandboxie? Previous version was crashing or even if it was loaded there was no sound when playing videos ....

It works well on my system but you need to use Sandboxie Beta 5.25.4
5.25 Beta Available (Latest version 5.25.4) - Sandboxie Support

Thank you. It works now!!
The only problem with new version (it's faster than previous version indeed) is that firefox is still active on task manager, every time i close firefox...
