This is related to no clear sign that Mozilla is actively investigating themselves what features are in the top 50, 25 or event top 10 add-ons. Until this point there is no problem, however as soon as the first indication is given that Fx 57 will be dropping the classic XUL/XPCOM add-ons the a communication problem starts. This makes sense, as WebExtensions should be “compatible” with the Google Chrome add-ons. WebExtensions) was primarily feature-parity with Google Chrome. The focus related to the new add-on logic (i.e. Most other plugins I’ve been using are not really missed by me at the moment, but the fact that a popular add-on is not available is still a disappointment to me. I also rather would have used GreaseMonkey and plan to go back as soon as it is available as a stable version. … one of the add-ons I’ve been using is not available (yet) – this one GreaseMonkey has alternatives and although one of them is working it is not completely working. I’ve been using Firefox 57 (beta/developer edition) for some time now and my reaction to it is mainly positive, however… So much that I decided to close down comments for this entry and delete the worst entries.) Firefox Mozilla release ( Update: as I feared in this text, I got a lot of negativism, vitriol and criticism in the comments to this post. Firefox 58 will have even more goodies, and I know there are much more good stuff planned for the releases coming in 2018 too… The work on future releases goes on, we will continue to improve the web experience for users all over the world. It is rather the beginning of a new Firefox. But sometimes, in order to move forward and do good stuff, we have to make some tough decisions for the greater good that not everyone will agree with. I’m sure Firefox 57 will also get a fair share of sour feedback and comments written in uppercase. People get accustomed to things, get emotional and don’t particularly like change very much. Releasing a product to hundreds of millions of end users across the world is interesting. I’m a proud Mozillian and being part of a crowd that has put together something as grand as Firefox 57 is an honor and a privilege. My personal contributions to 57 are not much to write home about, but are mostly a stream of minor things that combined at least move the notch forward. I think every single Mozilla engineer (and most non-engineers as well) has contributed to at least some parts of this, and of course many have done a lot. Early comments I’ve read and heard also hints that it is also quite notable. Or perhaps perceived end user snappiness. This is underscored by the fact that I’ve gotten mailed release-swag for the first time during my four years so far as a Mozilla employee.įirefox 57 is the major milestone hundreds of engineers have worked really hard toward during the last year or so, and most of the efforts have been focused on performance. Also referred to as Firefox Quantum, from the project name we’ve used for all the work that has been put into making this the most awesome Firefox release ever. Next week, Mozilla will release Firefox 57. ![]()
