Downgrading your Firefox will not be simple. You will need to create a new profile and recreate your old setup. There were profile changes in Firefox 56 that broke some legacy extensions, and Firefox 57 finished off the rest. If you just install an older version of Firefox and try to use it with your current profile, you will not be happy because your legacy extensions will not work.
I installed Firefox ESR, based on FF 55.2, to give myself headroom to use legacy extensions because I knew they would no longer work in Firefox 57, But I was already using Firefox 56 when I decided to do that, and found out the hard way about profile breakage. I had to create a new profile to use with ESR and recreate my old setup.

All my extensions are legacy and do not work.

Tell me what legacy extensions you ran? I may be able to recommend replacements. I had about forty in the earlier version of Firefox. There are enough extensions now in the Web Extensions format to replace the majority of what I had run and let me run Firefox Quantum as my production browser. One big gap is passwords, and the API that will let you deal with passwords is in development and security review at Mozilla.
Meanwhile, Nirsoft has a freeware utility than can read your current Firefox passwords and dump them to a file. You won't be able to import that file into an older Firefox version, but you'll at least have them to add. See

The new ones take up too much ram and really do not do what I need. I really need my xkit back.

That has
not been my experience. Which new format extensions did you try, and how did you know what RAM they used?
