Firefox is the name of the browser. Quantum is a project that made many performance changes in Firefox. Quantum targeted Firefox running on Windows and other desktop operating systems.

Firefox for Android benefited from some of those changes but the major change of using multiple processes was not done on Firefox for Android. There will continue to be performance work in 2019 on Firefox for Android. I'm not sure if we will call those performance changes Quantum or some other name.
