What’s new in Waterfox 55.1.0?

• Updated to Firefox 55.0.3 (Release Notes)
• Statically linked libstdc++ on Linux.
• Added option to toggle Electrolysis in aboutreferences > General
• Android release is ready! Just passing through the Google Play store and will submit request to go onto the F-Droid store.
• Improved migration of profile to not copy over old profile.
• Toggle some privacy options by removing Microsoft Family ’MITM’ and disable add-on metadata updates.
• Added FINDX and updated Yahoo! URL

NOTE: AUTOMATIC UPDATE WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL SMALL ISSUES HAVE BEEN IRONED OUT, OTHERWISE PLEASE MANUALLY UPDATE TO GET ONTO THE LATEST VERSION

IMPORTANT! Waterfox now uses its own profile location!

Waterfox now uses its own profile directory. If you have updated from an automatic update, you will get a prompt to import your data to this new location after restarting the browser post update.

As much of your data will try to be kept as possible.

• Location on macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Waterfox
• Location on Linux: ~/.waterfox/
• Location on Windows: %APPDATA%\Waterfox

There will be a backup of your previous profile within this new profile directory. If you use a different than default location for Firefox, you should be able to just update the profile.ini in the new Waterfox profile location to carry on using that location.

There will be some teething issues with various setting as the change to prepare for continued XUL/XPCOM add-on support, so some add-ons may get disabled and settings changed. With some upcoming updates this should be fixed.
