Firefox 55 Released

Hmm, most of my addons/extensions are now labeled "LEGACY".

It is gonna suck big time when 57 rolls around, and if these addons haven't been updated.

I switched my Firefox addons/extensions a long time ago from "LEGACY" to more up to date versions.
 
Yes, I'm wondering about that too.

pcslookout - which addons did you upgrade from legacy versions? I think all of mine are legacy and I'm hoping they are all transitioned soon!
 
Some of the old Legacy addons will get updated, but quite a few will not. Either because the developer does not want to or the new features in web extensions will not allow what the coder wants to accomplish.
A lot of good info is here: http://arewewebextensionsyet.com/
Look down the page to: Most Widely Adopted to see what has been ported
 
That usually does show the newest version of an addon. But only if your version of Firefox can use the newest one.
 
After using it for a while, it definitely feels faster to me. I think the scrolling improvements helped a lot too, including scrolling back and forth on the tabs in the top.

Also, I think if you have a lot of RAM and change the content process number to 7 that also helps speed it up even more.

I get that on multiple machines started within the last few updates. Doesn't seem to actually check to see if an update is available. Been doing it manually but this is clearly a bug they should be able to fix.
 
I just updated from FF55 to55.01, found annoying bug on mine, can't close browser via the X in top right corner , I have to use task manager to end Firefox.

Another reason why I stay on Vivaldi, it just works without annoying little issues like these.
 
Try Firefox in Safe Mode ... if it work okay there, then it is one of your extensions causing trouble. Or you can try and check for updates to your extensions and then see how it works after they update. If you use Tab Mix Plus, it had been known to cause this issue in earlier versions of Firefox.

I checked my extensions and found the cause was TabMix Plus, no updates for it so will have to wait for a fix unless I have it disabled. Not too bothered since using Vivaldi as my main browser, thanks for the reply however 🙂 .
