FireFox Quantum. It's here! ... but what is it & what's the big deal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

FireFox Q. AKA Firefox 57 ("Quantum")[505] (Are you wondering what's 505?) ... & I shall be referring to this new version of FireFox as FireFox Q or FFQ! ![Quantum_by_the_Numbers.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNwHAkjg1D8szmzUEe4RvpVqKFn2DK56E9aWuxDx8kSHS/Quantum_by_the_Numbers.png) TBH, ... it's been a while since I have seriously used Firefox, I mean, of course I use it to test and in development, Cross Browser Comp. and all that, but not seriously, ... not as my main browser of choice. ![browser.3c7a2e55d6ed.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPkMU5AwmKQNGC24KAtmJHmDYiEow9LJNshVEzRg2pae3/browser.3c7a2e55d6ed.png) So, you may be asking, why am I switching, or even considering it. Let me share a screenshot with you, and certainly not the only one out there with this issue. ![2017-11-04-09ish2.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVRghMZrS7by1ZrLUrDAdJqy78tognRB3VBrV3ttUuvWj/2017-11-04-09ish2.png) A LOT of tooltips, which could be a good thing, especially if you get lost or require a quick tour: ![tips-important.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbAcnbtHNuLe6AjxWJnnyJQUwcwQpJitcv9RKnKTNvLCK/tips-important.png) Props for this: ![Help-ffq.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSLVryp5kQVEV5MsDfSNov6bxR3GyWpf7c56PMcfdiu3j/Help-ffq.png) Privacy: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/ ![privacy.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeAZKNYzhJ18QyYARcRMMjxBgYLzzcTAXw6uMPRNWfb5t/privacy.png) Another thing I actually liked about it was the screenshoting function, altho., I already have another tool for that and FFQ will have to unseat that app to gain another trophy. ![Screenshot-2017-11-15 Firefox Screenshots.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPWfo5PW2T1vgaaZsBedFKh9XeeHFsxAVw6B3ubfxPujx/Screenshot-2017-11-15%20Firefox%20Screenshots.png) Is Firefox Slow? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems ![message-slow-ffq.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXHJ4z2tjtww5cty1XGqEfPexrt4L67ne5a6M9RSKskdB/message-slow-ffq.png) Test your internet speed here: FAST.com. (Chrome was faster, for some reason. But not by much.) ![chrome-faster.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaAequBb7uUqoyfngnCWHJCppgUtAY4kqpLCt9mnDhfDH/chrome-faster.png)

Good Job, FireFox Team!

![FFQ-by-numbers.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmei6YVYBuMHMo9Uqb3LzfeYkezoDbTSa1LYvoSJ4xPvPH/FFQ-by-numbers.png) HT: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/11/14/introducing-firefox-quantum/ What's Next? I'm going to checkout the add-on's and Extensions Looking under the hood: ![FFQ-intro.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWynpTMJGKsHWXeJtgeLi9JcXsvwMNbjhokaQcKBVXhLc/FFQ-intro.jpg) && ![ffq-01.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSJp8vMvBN1bjqAeogkwdpqoP8cWMJRX2MEd1uGKJSnkX/ffq-01.png) Now, I shall begin to move my workload to FireFoxQ for a week or two and see if it crashes; it used to crash & shutdown around 8 - 12 GB. Hopefully this is the fix, ... can't say for sure if this is new, but it's new to me. Thanks FFQ! ![use-more-ram.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWiBGE1mw7AA6nYavfqjXhMuMsxZxxVBo3BPgomE2M7Gz/use-more-ram.png) How: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/performance-settings?as=u&utm_source=inproduct Maybe FFQ will be my default Browser, I'll post an update when it is. ![browser-default-1.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVFY4paursQ6G5PXQq1JC9ttiXu3ijXQ9b9bANAXkSNTD/browser-default-1.png) ps. why is the "y" underlined? ... It seems the opposite direction of where UI/UX is going in comparison with Chrome's recent Changes: ![underscores.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZiLRSjERBecgRa7gXhiD8Sy8e6ysP6xqPSzVS5CWbfHy/underscores.png) Don't see a difference? Let's add some arrows... ![underscores2.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdgAc2hrqA7sotmtt1Gb9YEYozhiAPVatvCSaiP5eGMXf/underscores2.png) That's it! I gtg now, so this seems like a good spot to stop. Thanks for reading!
