Another option could be to ship Fedora 27 with a Firefox 57 prerelease
version. This will stop breakage of extensions 2 weeks after Fedora 27
ships (and shipped extensions can be moved to web extension version).

Ouch.
Is now a good time to think about how we could try to avoid getting into a
similar situation again in the future?
I see that Firefox ESR releases are supported for one year plus twelve
weeks (
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/). For
Fedora 27, would it be safer to include Firefox 57 and 58, but then stick
with Firefox 59 ESR from March onwards?
