Linux Nightly is out.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0 ID:20170919100405

Built from https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ ... fea90c74a5

Still have to waste view port space having the Menu Bar enabled so I can use Print Preview. :cry:

Or just memorize Alt+F,V rather than displaying the menu bar all the time?

To mitigate the delay that a new content process startup might cause, when the browser reaches a non-busy state we attempt to prelaunch an empty content process in the background that can be grabbed and used the next time we need one.

Right, by tomorrow, and when the support questions start rolling in, I won't remember why I enabled the Menu Bar.

Last info from ~2 weeks ago in the Reenable bug talks about some reftest failures.
Probably decided to not rush this into 57, so we could see some progress there once the whole merge stuff is done.

edit: Very weird reftest failures...

These failures are not my cup of tea, so don't know how severe it is.
Anyway thanks for info. I will leave it enabled and will test for a few days if something appears. So far so good.

Currently resolved as "WONT FIX". Old behaviour can be reinstated by setting:
user_pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.aboutHome.enabled", false);

Probably didn't pass the update test. There will be a rc2.
