I have been using Firefox for about 5 years, I'm still using it and despite that I'm anti-Mozilla. The browser performance has always been fine to me and 57 doesn't look particularly "faster" as they are advertising it.
I'm one of the dozen people that care about a browser being user configurable and not doing any analytics, telemetry, experiments,... . Mozilla has lately been working exactly against this. I have about 80KB of patch files just to remove all the crap Mozilla managed to stuff into an otherwise perfect browser like: advertisements, telemetry, more data sharing, geolocation using google servers, a social network and proprietary binary blobs for service integration.
When I build a clean version of Firefox then I'm happy too.
