I just opened FF and there was amessage about updating so I went to Chrome for a bit... Came back to my (default) FF and low and behold :eek:
The new Firefox. Fast for good.

Today we’re thrilled to introduce you to our brand new browser — Firefox Quantum.

What you’ll notice first is that the new Firefox is blazing fast. In fact, you’ll enjoy speeds up to twice as fast as a year ago. It’s also more powerful. We’ve rebuilt Firefox from the ground up to focus on how you use the Web today to watch, listen, create and play without limits. We’re excited to deliver a browser that feels completely different — modern, quick and efficient. We think you’ll agree: It’s a quantum leap forward in how you’ll experience the Internet.

When you use Firefox, you’re also contributing to a movement to ensure the Internet remains a global public resource, open and accessible to all. As an independent, not-for-profit organization, we’ve been committed since 2003 to building products that put you in control of your online life and advancing open technology and public policy that promote a healthier Internet. We put you at the center of everything we do.

On behalf of Mozilla’s global community, we’re proud to introduce you to the new Firefox. Fast for good.

I have to say.. for about a week now I've been considering ditching FF it was so bad for me.
Just recently had it spiking memory usage (up to 1.9gb!) fairly regularly, for no good reason, so this update might be the fix I need.

Have been using Quantum for a while on the beta channel. It's absolutely buttery smooth.

Mine runs super smooth and noticeably faster. It takes advantage of parallel processing on multi core CPU’s.

I also have the developer edition installed since some of the built-in tools are pretty nifty if you do any web development stuff.
