Has anyone else tried the new Firefox yet? It seems lightning fast compared to the old one.
Pity I'll have to wait a week for NoScript to catch up. It's totally incompatable at the moment.

I upgraded today. Like you, my extensions don't work. I'm not convinced it's "faster" but does look slicker.

Really? It seems to load pages quicker for me.

Is it using a new browser engine, or does it still have that god-awful memory leak?

I love Firefox, and it would be my browser of choice if not for that one critical flaw.

Yes. It is no longer using the Gecko rendering engine, the new one is also called Quantum.

It loads faster, much faster that the previous versions. Firefox was always the browser you had to wait for ages to load. This one opens as fast, if not faster, than Safari.

For some reason sound is really iffy with Pluralsight now with FF. It's probably minor teething troubles but I've kinda switched to Vivaldi anyway. It seems better in general.

NoScript is still missing and LastPass is not working... Back to Edge for now.

The Noscript website says a compatable version should be available by the end of the week.
