It’s fast. Really fast. Firefox Quantum is over twice as fast as Firefox from 6 months ago, built on a completely
overhauled core engine with brand new technology stolen from our advanced research group, and graced with a
beautiful new look designed to get out of the way and let you do what you do best: surf a ton of pages, open a
zillion tabs, all guilt free because Firefox Quantum uses less memory than the competition. Your computer will thank you. 🙂
Making Firefox look, feel and perform faster was no small feat. Employees and volunteers from around the world worked in
record time to create the best Firefox yet. Let’s take a moment to take a look at what we accomplished this past year to make this happen:
