When Is Photon Due?
The fruits of the Photon redesign are expected to arrive in Firefox 57, due in November. It will be the first major overhaul of Firefox’s appearance since Australis made its debut back in 2014.
This should mean, going by how the Firefox release process typically works, eager testers should be able to go hands-on with the new look in August, as Firefox 57 enters the Aurora testing channel.
Firefox 57 is also expected to be the first version of Firefox to only support new Firefox web extensions, retiring support for the thousands of ‘classic’ add-ons currently available, and may even ship with the new Quantum web-engine.
