Mine's at 63.When I read that I checked my own version and magically it was already at 61.
using 61 on Windows but what's with the "Quantum" branding now?
article said:Firefox 57, November 14th release
- Firefox will only run WebExtensions.
Interesting..I've been thinking of switching back to Firefox since a while.
I finally "upgraded" from version 56. All I can say is these people have no idea how folks really use browsers. Everything is much more difficult to use with more steps involved. And what in the world did they do to NoScript? My life is supposed to get easier no more complicated so why do they insist on changing stuff for changes sake?
Looks like you just click the top right options menu (the 3 horizontal bars) and Restore Previous Session is near the top of the list.Where did they bury "restore previous session"? I usually close Firefox with multiple tabs open and when I reopen Firefox I want to be able to restore my tabs. I think it used to be in History or Bookmarks - History.
Thank you coffeemonster. I would have never thought to look in the options menu. I like to close my browser when away from the computer more than 5 minutes and I always have multiple tabs open.Looks like you just click the top right options menu (the 3 horizontal bars) and Restore Previous Session is near the top of the list.
Ya it would be nice if they had a button on the start page like some other browsers do.
One reason I'm still in 56 since I use the legacy extension DownThemAll! Hopefully it will be updated soon for Quantum.I think that's as much about >v57 casting off legacy add-ons (and lots of older UI baggage) in favour of 'Web Extensions' (I think that's what they're called) as much as it's about full sandboxing/multithreading support (was that v57 as well? can't remember).
That was one of the biggest reasons keeping me from quantum as primary browser for a while.One reason I'm still in 56 since I use the legacy extension DownThemAll! Hopefully it will be updated soon for Quantum.
Update: Just tried out the latest version after being a chrome user for the past 3-4 years, kind of okay with it so far but switching back to chrome cause i really find it convenient, probably because i've grown used to it
Anybody experience the browser window going black or black in places? In options - general - performance, I set it to use recommended performance settings. Is there a better setting? I admit I haven't updated my chip or graphics drivers since I built this machine.
Weird how different people have different issues. Sometimes a tabbed page will go black, other times just black in places and other times just black where my mouse is.I haven't seen this but I have seen it not closing sometimes after updates or not being able to get to the hamburger menu on the top right in which case I have to end the task to get it to work again.
I'd recommend updating your graphics drivers. I've had quirky issues in browsers before that were cleared up by display driver updates. If that doesn't solve your issue, try disabling hardware acceleration in firefox.Anybody experience the browser window going black or black in places?

Thanks. I really need to update my drivers. I've been putting it off since I built this machine.I'd recommend updating your graphics drivers.
