To give myself headroom, I backed off. I run Firefox Extended Support Release, intended for organizations with many Firefox instances involved. It's based on FF 52.0.5. It will still get critical security fixes, but won't get the stuff that will disable current extensions for some time.

Thanks for the FF ESR info, I may try that because I don't like the idea of missing out on security updates. Fortunately I don't have nearly as many extensions as you do, only 5; 2 of them work ok w/ FF57, 1 I can make-do, but the last two I mentioned above don't work at all.

Thanks. I actually run FF portable on my work computer (they won't let me install anything so I run it separately) and will just copy that for now.
