@karlbu, if you want to run AdBlock Plus in 57, at this time you would have to run the latest beta version:

(Me? I actually use uBlock Origin at this time.)

Don't know if they are.karlbu wrote:Opened 57 this morning, and none of the extensions I use >daily< work: addblock plus, foxit PDF creator, kaspersky, LastPass, NoScript, Session Manager.
Are any of these ever going to work again? Tell me now while I'm off searching for a Firefox replacement.
Maybe you could find replacements here. Extensions for 57.0
Good luck searching through all 8,792 matching results. The list keeps growing

Re: [WARNING] Nightly might break some add-ons
you should disable kaspersky extension for ever - always buggy because they could not manager in right on time.
NoScript is interactive with other webextensions - if some fail it helps to read comments on concerned webextension (not noscript)
NS is not ready yet.
current best session manager replacement
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... n-manager/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... ab-button/
foxit PDF creator is from the program, its foxit turn to improve.
but i never had used similar für pdf - i just print to my pdf printzer without any extension, makes no sense and has no advantage.
maybe "print edit" helps you out
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... t-edit-we/
after printing i can edit my pdf files to correct them in content.

Re: [WARNING] Nightly might break some add-ons
This thread seems to be addressing the issue I'm concerned with, even if at a much higher level than I'm comfortable with. I've just installed the latest update and ALL my addons have suddenly stopped working. Seriously??? This is an "improvement" that we're supposed to be happy with? How do I either get them all working again or else devolve to an earlier version of Firefox?

You replace the ones you can replace with Web Extensions, try to work without the ones you can't replace.dracmail wrote:This thread seems to be addressing the issue I'm concerned with, even if at a much higher level than I'm comfortable with.

There should be a Find Replacements button in the Legacy Extensions section of your Add-ons Manager. Try using it.
An alternate method is using this link. Extension Finder.

Re: [WARNING] Nightly might break some add-ons
The "find replacements" link sends me to addons that are similar but generally not as good. As for working without the addons, they are the whole point of having Firefox! IMHO this would have to be one of the most stupid updates ever. At the very least they should have either warned users that 99% of their addons would stop working if they updated, or else had a grace period where the old addons still worked but had some sort of warning, while allowing the developers time to bring out new versions.
Whatever. I have solved the problem by downloading an older version (56.0.2) and installing that.
ETD: Sorry - don't want to give the impression that I'm somehow blaming you for this! Just not happy about being stuffed around by a program that I've had a great deal of admiration for over the years.

Re: [WARNING] Nightly might break some add-ons
Your addons were tagged as "legacy" in the preceding couple FF versions. That was their warning...dracmail wrote:The "find replacements" link sends me to addons that are similar but generally not as good.

Re: [WARNING] Nightly might break some add-ons
Since the bug report cited in the first post has been marked as resolved invalid (due to WE being the only extension system moving forward) is there any futher need for this to be stickied?
Thanks.
