Mozilla today released FireFox Quantum Developer Edition. Thecompany is calling thisthe fastest Firefox ever and is highlighting the new features making Firefox feel like a newer, faster, and better browser.

Firefox Quantum is powered by Quantum CSS, which is a new CSS engine written in Rust and based on the Servo parallel browser engine product. As part of development, the Firefox team also fixed over 360 performance bugs and focused on improving responsiveness and user interface interactions. Of course, they also made it 64 bit and multi-process by default, helping take advantage of newer processors, and reducing RAM consumption and crashes caused by graphics drivers.

Here is a bit more on what has changed for the end user, in the words of Firefox developer Dan Callahan.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
