Hi All,
I've installed the Firefox 57 from the builds section of the Plasmazilla PPA and it is fantastic. Really fast and all works well. A little downside can be that a lot of add-ons haven't been ported to the new technology, but for me, half of the ones I use are already ported and the other half were the ones fixing various stuff of Firefox that don't need fixing anymore, so I'm 100% fine with the migration. But the increase in pure speed and responsiveness is unbelievable - I have an Intel i7 Haswell CPU with integrated GPU and even with this CPU it is very visible. So if you can live without a few add-ons I really recommend it.
