Browsers & Updates

First topic message reminder :

This update brought a bunch of UI changes both to the front and developer tools. If you use Firefox, what are your likes and dislikes on the new UI design ?

For me :

I really like the design of the tabs, though I sorta wished they would of kept their rounded look and not disappear completely when not active. You can see the difference below from left to right : Active, Hover, Not active. I'd much rather prefer if the hover design was the not active design.

The menu added is very useful for quickly accessing tools you frequent. It's definitely convenient and easy to customize.

The changes made to the Devtools design is very nice, you can tell the light and dark themes had some changes to their color. This isn't completely UI related, but I like the changes to the style editor. Before when writing properties or values you had to write from memory, now with a new option "Autocomplete CSS" properties, selectors, or values will be filled in as you write. I am probably going to disable this, but it is a great function if you're starting out and can't remember a property name or value, ooooor if you're feeling lazy.

It's a lot more sleek and modern looking, but it's definitely got some things to improve on like what I mentioned with the tabs. I will explore Firefox 29 deeper and see what more I like or dislike.

In the mean time you can read some release notes and share your thoughts if you have any.

Hello @SLGray,
Here it is. in case which you wont to wait. The only think you have to do is to select your language and 32-bit or 64-bit.

I usually wait until they exactly release it.

Notice they removed this page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/56.0.1/releasenotes/
It was the release notes.

Hello @SLGray,
Here it is https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/56.0.1/ select your windows version (32-64 Bits) by clicking on the link and then click on your language and download the .exe file.

I will wait until they release it where I just have to use the update option in the browser. Unless, they are not releasing it that way.

I got the update today.

Firefox 57.0 (Quantum)

Firefox Quantum 57.0.1 released.

That moment when people are talking about the new FF 57 and you have been using FF 59 aka Nightly for days )
