Firefox 59 Prepped For Release: Nukes GTK2 Code, Still Prepping For Wayland
Mozilla's Firefox 59.0 is now available to download from the FTP server ahead of the official announcement.
Firefox 59.0 can now be downloaded for all supported platforms. Firefox 59.0 does deliver on dropping GTK2 support in favor of the GTK3 tool-kit support that's now mature.
But what didn't make it for Firefox 59.0 is the Firefox 59 Wayland support that remains a work-in-progress and was diverted from being a target for mozilla59. While the Wayland support isn't yet squared away, there have been bug fixes and other improvements in working towards getting this native Wayland support ready by default for those not building your web-browser with the --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk3-wayland switch.
Original: Version 59.0, first offered to Release channel users on March 13, 2018
