FAQ

How do I get Firefox Quantum (57)?

When using nixos 17.09, stable, nixos.firefox currently gives version 56. Enabling unfree, and updating channels if required, allows the use of nixos.firefox-bin which is packaged from Mozilla's upstream released binaries.

Using nixos unstable, the nixos-built nixos.firefox has been updated to 57.

Do note that Quantum is a marketing term, and as long as the version is greater than 57, the enhancements are in the built browser.
