Firefox Quantum arrives with faster browser engine, major visual overhaul, and Google as default search engine

The new version, which Mozilla calls “by far the biggest update since Firefox 1.0 in 2004,” brings massive performance improvements and a visual redesign.
The goal is to make Firefox the fastest and smoothest browser for PCs and mobile devices — the company has previously promised that users can expect “some big jumps in capability and performance” through the end of the year.
Well the Mozilla Team will at some point need to listen to its userbase instead of introducing changes to the UI or killing lots of extensions (granted that was announced, but some extentions cannot be ported to the new API). The cruel numbers however show that Firefox is following the same path Netscape went.
