More improvements are in the pipeline for later Firefox versions, too, including Quantum Render, which should speed up Firefox's ability to paint web pages onto your screen. Mozilla even simplified the Firefox logo, a fox wrapping itself around the globe. A screenshot tool generates a website link so you can easily share what you see by email or Twitter. It also builds in the Pocket bookmarking service Mozilla acquired and uses it to recommend sites you might be interested in.
More obvious from the outside is a new interface called Photon that wipes out Firefox's rounded tabs and adds a "page action" menu into the address bar. From the report: The new Firefox revamp includes lots of under-the-covers improvements, like Quantum Flow, which stamps out dozens of performance bugs, and Quantum CSS, aka Stylo, which speeds up website formatting. While Mozilla stopped short of declaring victory over Chrome, Nick Nguyen, vice president of Firefox product, said Firefox Quantum's page-load speed " is often perceivably faster" while using 30 percent less memory. "The idea, of course, is that the upcoming version 57 is a quantum leap over predecessors - or, in the words of Mozilla CEO Chris Beard, a 'big bang,'" reports CNET. The next version of Firefox, aptly named Firefox Quantum, is getting a big speed boost.
