Legacy: [SixOrNot](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/sixornot/), [IPvFox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ipvfox/) provide IP addresses of servers accessed for building current page. SixOrNot (and maybe IPvFox?) also changes its toolbar icon to 4 or 6 to indicate if the top-level file of the page is connecting via IPv4 or IPv6.

Possible WebExtensions replacement: [Show Server IP](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/show-server-ip/)

* * *

Legacy: various host names in Title. This allows applications that need the server name for matching with site-specific logon credentials, such as for KeePass.

WebExtensions: [Hostname in Title](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hostname-in-title/) (There are probably others, too, but this was the first one I found.)

[https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/download-status-bar/](https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/download-status-bar/)

Does anyone have an idea? Or does this still need some WebExtension APIs implemented into Firefox?

+1 to Stylus. I’ve found myself using Stylish a lot, and got frustrated with some alternatives. After reading the [userstyles.org](http://userstyles.org) forum, I tried Stylus and it’s exactly what I’m after.

Be aware that Stylus doesn’t fully work on Android. They’ve recently set it to incompatible with Android.

I hope they fix that by 57.

SixOrNot is moving to WebExtensions according to this bug.

Hours of work, spoilt.

After the event I found my partial edition, now a named version in the history of the document:

- _2017-08-23 03:12 work in progress by Graham Perrin, interrupted and overwritten_

– but I don’t intend to revisit, recreate and complete the edition. The waste of time was intolerable.

[Search by Image](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/search_by_image/) can be used as a replacement for legacy reverse image search add-ons. The next version will also allow searching for local images.

I think [Containers On The Go](https://addons.mozilla.org/ro/firefox/addon/containers-on-the-go/) should be a good replacement for [Private Tab](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/private-tab/). Not sure if Containers will be by default in v57. If you do not have containers experiment enabled, it will not work.
