where is the advanced tab in firefox 56?
I want to change some settings for networking
Chosen solution
In Firefox 56 the PreferencesUI has changed, as you have obviously noticed. You can get the 'old' Options (Advanced etc.) back, if you want to :
Type in the address bar about:config (press Enter) (promise to be careful, if asked) Type and look for the preference : browser.preferences.useOldOrganization and set its value to true
However, you could use the 'new' Preferences - it'll just take a little getting used to. There's this 'Type in Options' box, where you can type what you're looking for.

By the way, the new Options/Preference page has a search box at the upper right. If you are looking for, say "cache" or "proxy" then that box should scan all the panels for the relevant settings. Hopefully a faster way to find things in the future. If you discover problems with the search feature, feel free to report them so they can get fixed.

Whoops, I read right past that. Or subliminally, I stole it. Either way, sorry about that.
Nah, that was just me being childish, and in a foul mood ...... (sorry)
