You updated
to Firefox Quantum because too many sites became unusable? If you were still running an ESR build I'm surprised you could use it as long as you did.
I still have a Firefox ESR v52 build, but haven't used it in some time. It was purely an interim solution to let me continue running various extensions while I waited for WebEx extensions that could replace them. At this point, enough of my preferred functionality exists that I was able to switch to Quantum a while back.
The big missing piece for me is a password manager. Under older FF versions, there were extensions that would let me view and modify Firefox stored passwords, and do things like see what various stored passwords
were, as there are sites I visit infrequently enough I may not recall what password I created for them. (I do
not use third-party cloud based password managers like LastPass. That's not a security concern - I've just never needed the functionality.) The last I knew, extensions to the WebEx API that would allow an extension like that to be created which would duplicate the functionality I missed was under security review at Mozilla. Waiting...
I haven't seen a replacement for BBCodeExtra, but I stopped using stuff like that years back. I have enough grasp of BBCode to simply add the markup inline as I craft messages on sites that use it.
