Last week the CEO of Mozilla warned that Mozilla Firefox 57 would be released in November and that it would bring quite a few surprises for users and for rivals like Chrome or Microsoft Edge. The new version of Firefox will bring a new web engine, called Servo, which will make the browser faster and lighter than in previous versions. This will make Mozilla's web browser faster and more usable than its rivals.
This version is still unstable but we can install in our Ubuntu in isolationIn such a way that we can test the new features of the browser without annoying the stable version of Firefox or the operating system. This is practical but it is also true that when it goes into stable mode, all the files of this version will have to be transferred to the original program in version 57.
Installing Firefox 57 on Ubuntu 17.04 is quite simple and quick to do. We just have to download the package with the version 57 files. Unzip it and run the main program. First we have to download the package corresponding to our version. The packages can be obtained from here:
Once we have gotten the package with the version, unzip the package in tar.gz format and we will find several files and folders that make up the nightly version of Firefox. Of all these files, we have to double click or execute the file that it's called "Firefox".
After a few seconds of waiting, The Mozilla web browser window corresponding to this version will open. A version that is still unstable. This means that the web browser can be very fast but when it comes to executing some actions, either they don't work or they increase the consumption of Firefox resources. In any case, this will help us to know and test the new version of Mozilla Firefox, which, in the mouth of the CEO of Mozilla, «Firefox 57 will be a Big Bang«.
