Mozilla Firefox 57.0 Final is here. This is called Firefox Quantum, and brings support for WebExtensions (similar to Chrome's). Mozilla says it is 2x faster and 30% less memory than Chrome, thanks to its new engine. The GUI is also different and there are many new features.

Can Mozilla win back people who switched to Chrome? I think it could. Cool

Firefox 57.0 is blazing fast, but addons from the old API (legacy add-ons) won't support the new version. So many are missing
Why it is not available on official site ?
