55.0.2 Released for Windows, Mac and Linux. Android support in the coming weeks.
After a lot of late nights
️, the next version of Waterfox is here! This version lands some very important changes that pave the way to keeping add-on support in Waterfox. Waterfox now uses its own separate profile directory and migrates all your existing data to it. In the coming weeks the website will get an infrastructure update to pave the way for an add-on store.
Waterfox will also be coming to Android, so be sure to spread the word once it releases! Stay tuned as more big updates land with some new features joining further in the year.
Don’t forget to join the active subreddit community for support.
