Sure, that's what everybody knows. But without going from

So lets do a little review of the things I have installed in one of my
firefox instances that aren't currently firefox 57 compatible... This is
after I've dumped some rarely used things that I decided were unlikely
to get an update.
Cookie Monster
Seemed to have been removed from AMO and no obvious replacement.
Download Manager (S3)
Author reports it can't be ported due to lack of required APIs and
the same presumably applies to the various similar extensions none
of which show any sign of being ported. There are bugs open with
mozilla for providing a toolbar API for this but they're not
saying much other than "on the roadmap" which could mean anything.
Extension List Dumper 2
Last update in January, no sign of an update or of an obvious
replacement but only used occasionally.
NoScript
Supposedly getting a five-to-midnight fix and other options are
available if that doesn't happen.
NoSquint Plus
Last update yesterday but no mention of WE plans on AMO page
but Zoom Page WE is possible replacement.
pdfit
Ancient and only in use because the (better) extension I used
to use to save as PDF stopped working. Will likely replace with
screenshots once that has "whole page" mode working.
Saved Password Editor
Needs new APIs which are supposedly in the works but won't be
available for 57 at least.
Tab Groups
Author has stated (in a long rant) that he is not going to port
to WE and that in any case the APIs will probably always be too
limited for it to be possible.
View Cookies
Last updated nearly two years ago with no signs of life and no
obvious replacement.
