=== How do I get Firefox Quantum (57)? ===
When using NixOS 17.09, stable, <code>nixos.firefox</code> is version 57 as of December 24th 2017<ref>https://botbot.me/freenode/nixos/msg/95027711/</ref>. Alternatively,
[[FAQ#How_can_I_install_a_proprietary_or_unfree_package.3F|enabling unfree]], and updating channels if required, allows the use of <code>nixos.firefox-bin</code> which is packaged from Mozilla's upstream released binaries.
Using NixOS unstable, the Nix-built <code>nixos.firefox</code> has been updated to 57.
Do note that <em>Quantum</em> is a marketing term, and as long as the version is greater than 57, the enhancements are in the Nix-built browser, which uses the name <em>Nightly</em> because of [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/trademarks/faq/ trademark issues].
