Waterfox 56.0


Waterfox will now remain at 56 for the time being, following the security releases of 59 ESR until it becomes End of Line (Q1 2019). In the meanwhile, a “new” browser will be developed to follow the ethos of Waterfox of customisation and choice, while staying up to do date with the rapidly evolving browser landscape.
  • Based on Firefox 56.0.2 release
  • Security patches from 57 release
  • Fixed GUI rendering issues on macOS High Sierra
  • Fixed search suggestions not appearing
  • Enabled e10s by default, some add-ons that aren’t marked as compatible may cause unexpected behaviour.
  • Cookie Prompt has been re-implemented
  • Fix *BSD compilation; white space issues


  • Compatibility with older add-ons is being brought back in the next few releases. A few listed add-ons that won’t currently work:
    • LiveClick
    • Color That Site
    • Add Bookmark Here
    • Pure URL
    • Mozilla Archive Form

So, it appears Waterfox might come to an end (maybe in 1 year). Hope it is good.

But for me, I have already switched back to Firefox since Quantum was released. Missing a few addons, but the speed makes up for it.
