Mozilla Firefox 57 瀏覽器 Beta 版發(fā)布，并正式將其命名為Firefox Quantum。該品牌還包括一個(gè)新的標(biāo)志。Mozilla表示，引擎在瀏覽器中很重要。這就是為什么Mozilla正在發(fā)布一個(gè)全新的Firefox Beta版，一個(gè)完全重新發(fā)明的現(xiàn)代化引擎。由于Firefox 57這個(gè)名稱不能真正傳達(dá)我們所做出的更改，而且這款新Firefox瀏覽器速度要快得多，所以稱之為Firefox Quantum。

Mozilla表示，F(xiàn)irefox Quantum瀏覽器速度是Firefox 52的兩倍。它能夠通過(guò)使用Rust語(yǔ)言來(lái)重建組件提高瀏覽器的速度，這些組件現(xiàn)在更有效率。 Firefox歷史版本僅在一個(gè)CPU核心上運(yùn)行任務(wù)，但在Quantum及更高版本中，它將利用多個(gè)CPU核心，從而使瀏覽器速度更快。

通過(guò)使用Rust編寫的新CSS引擎，F(xiàn)irefox可以并行使用多個(gè)CPU來(lái)縮短加載時(shí)間，Mozilla聲稱沒(méi)有其他瀏覽器可以執(zhí)行此操作。為了進(jìn)一步提高速度，Mozilla將用戶打開(kāi)的選項(xiàng)卡放在首位，并且采用多進(jìn)程架構(gòu)。 Firefox Quantum在某些網(wǎng)站上的打開(kāi)速度超過(guò)Chrome，同時(shí)使用的內(nèi)存減少30%。該團(tuán)隊(duì)還修復(fù)了468個(gè)瀏覽器問(wèn)題，這可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致速度上升。

下載前注意：由于瀏覽器擴(kuò)展作者大部分還沒(méi)有針對(duì)Firefox 57進(jìn)行更新，因此絕大多數(shù)的擴(kuò)展在當(dāng)前的Beta測(cè)試時(shí)期均無(wú)法使用。

更新列表：

In October of last year we announced Project Quantum, our effort to create a next-generation engine. Firefox 57 includes many aspects of this project, so we’re calling this release Firefox Quantum.

Firefox Quantum is roughly 2X faster than Firefox 49 on the Speedometer 2.0 benchmark, thanks to its new CSS engine, its “just right” multi-process architecture, the way it prioritizes your active tab, and much more. Firefox Quantum also includes a visual refresh – Photon – that looks and feels right at home with modern operating systems. To learn more about Firefox Quantum, visit the Mozilla Blog.

New

Firefox is getting a major Visual Redesign (Photon project) activated on the Nightly channel and which will ship with Firefox 57 on the release channel.
