Up 2% points in postive sentiment over 16 at the same point in the release cycle. We had an initial rocky start, but things seem to be leveling out.
'''General Issues'''
* Social Fixer Addon - Causing JavaScript syntax error
* '''17.01''' Font Issues - Windows users are reporting cleartype preferences are ignored {{Bug|814101}}.
* '''Fix under discussion''' TMP - SUMO article instructing users to try dev version. Complaints are going down, but more visibility would help.

* '''17.01''' Cookie Exceptions not working in 17 - {{Bug|814554}}
* '''Fix under development''' Tab Utils - Broken. Author is working on an update.
'''Social API'''
<br />
Positive:
* I Like FaceBook, chating with friends
* Facebook masenger and I like fast speed in slow connection
* I can now chat on facebook with an "effect" that looks like anti-boss.
<br />
Negative
* Firefox just added the facebook capability, this make it so slow!
* The social API is confusing for me as an end-user and I cannot remove Facebook!
