… comment three lines in "~/waterfox/.mozconfig". Since the Firefox update to version 57 I switched to Waterfox. The problems I have:

I encountered two other problems with Waterfox 56.0, neither was a showstopper:

From my perspective, as heavyweight user of Firefox 56.0.2 (more than 1,500 tabs), the switch to Waterfox was almost seamless.
