Mozilla's re-design of the compass Auto-scroll icon, to be 'Photon UI friendly' and has a light background to be seen on darker pages:

LastPass Beta

is this the stand alone or is this in the addons site?

The only thing I don't like about version 57 is when you view the legacy extensions you have and click on Find a Replacement. Most of the extensions you get taken to have no relevance whatsoever to the one you want to replace

Do not use legacy extensions and you will have no problems.

With Firefox 57 the add-on I'd like to use but can't is "Theme Font & Size Changer". I just get a greyed out 'Add to Firefox' button. The developer appears to have updated the majority of his many extensions so I hope he gets around to this one. I use this to make the font size of my bookmark bar links larger. Anyone know of another compatible extension or a tweak that would do the same?

I use free Lastpass and am very glad it will work with FF57+ :)

I'm loving it installed it today,

It's all the best of chrome with all the best of Firefox, the interface and settings are easily the best i have ever seen.

Well done Mozilla

This speed test was done with a Firefox 57 nightly, but even then the nightly shows a substantial speed increase over the other browsers.

Since 58 is now the nightly, these stats are not as they should be. The test needs to be redone.
