    I would not expect all of the old extensions to be updated. I use 4 and I am happy with it as is. Beta 9 should be out maybe Tuesday or later today.

    Firefox Quantum available as Beta and Developer Edition

    I do not use Firefox much these days, instead preferring to use Edge (yes, really!) then Chrome as I find both of these faster personally.

    However, when I have used Firefox, v56.0 and now v57.0 beta (64-bit versions), I've found that while the browser works perfectly fine that upwards of a couple of minutes after exiting it that the Mozilla Crash Reporter would pop up... annoyingly. I ended up having to actually disable the crash reporter via an environment variable to get around this.

    That did prevent it from popping up but there is a remaining issue where Firefox is reported as still running in the background after being closed and attempting to run it again from the pinned taskbar shortcut. I suspect this may be what was causing the Mozilla Crash Reporter to pop up if Firefox was still running in the background after exiting it.

    I am using Windows 10 Pro v1709 Build 16299.19 64-bit.

    Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so is there a way to fix it or do I have to uninstall and reinstall?

    You can actually enable servo and photon elements in Firefox 56, using about:config. It's quite a bit snappier, and it looks nice. Set layout.css.servo.enabled to true. I can't remember the photon one, but it enables the new Options menu.

    About time it is RC1. I understand why there are so many beta versions as this is a major update that breaks all old extensions.
