Hi guys so i am a bit excited yet cautious to try Firefox quantum and i got a couple of questions 1. Will the installer over write the current installation of firefox? (i dont want to remove it just yet) 2. If it does does it keep history, bookmarks etc? 3. If it doesnt do option 2 is there a way to save the profile to export it to the new firefox?

hi MajorFoley, firefox quantum is just the codename for version 57.0 of the browser, so it will replace the existing program. but all your bookmarks, history and password stored in firefox will remain - by default they will be arranged a little bit different but you can set them to the old scheme as well. just ask in case you need help after the update :))

Is there a portable version to test out?
