Well, I got the new version 57 of FireFox today. New and Improved with
all new Quantum technology (whatever the crap that is). It is
noticeably faster and has new color skins (blander, much blander).

If it really is faster, that's great. I nearly stopped using Firefox
because of the poor performance.

Same here. Tried Cyberfox, but it took ~5s to open and then ~5s to load
Startpage.
Went to Pale Moon, ~2s to open and ~3s to load Startpage.
The new Fx is about 3s and ready to go, but it uses a lot more RAM than PM.
There's also the issue of few useful extensions, so it's clunky to use, e.g.
Go Back needs the button or R-click select Go Back. PM is simply
R-click-L-click done with Fire Gestures installed. There a lots of things
that I'd need to make me change - like 4GB RAM extra - on a 32-bit OS!
