I think Containers On The Go should be a good replacement for Private Tab. Not sure if Containers will be by default in v57. If you do not have containers experiment enabled, it will not work.
Web-what? F**k mozilla I’m leaving with XUL.
And it’s what makes Firefox Great (xul?), without it FF is nothing, without it there is no reason for me to continue using Firefox.
I really hope there will be a fork that continues to support the ‘Legacy’ extensions I use, especially classic theme restorer, EasyCopy, ImageZoom, NukeAnything Enhanced, Saved Password Editor, and a dozen more.
Either 57 supports my extensions or I cease support for firefox, there’s no 2 ways about it, I expect a large % of the userbase will also leave. Moz’ is crazy, it couldn’t of done a better job of committing suicide if it tried.
I was also furious when I found out… 
But when I saw all the issues XUL extensions create and the performance drawbacks, I started looking for WebExtension alternatives.
I can’t believe how fast Firefox is now. It’s like Chrome but more customizable and built by a community I trust. All of my old XUL extensions have WE ports or alternatives.

Maybe a better replacement for SixOrNot and IPvFox: a port from Chrome: IPvFoo by Paul Marks. (That’s the one I am using today.)

IPvFoo is really nice.
Sorry to be on rush and can’t make fancy entries as above.
For me there are many add-ons I would need, but I am depending on Tab Groups. Where could I find alternative to such productive functionality, as the its developer quit migrate it to WebExtensions technology?
Waiting the https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1384515, then https://github.com/kesselborn/taborama or others.
There are some recommendations in Appendix B: Firefox Add ons · ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js Wiki.
… untimely appearances of hundreds of unwanted tabs - Firefox stops responding before the extension can be disabled - it’s necessary to manually remove the extension from the file system. …
Also: see this month’s post from @amyt (Community Manager for Add-ons and Marketplace) – and other Tab Groups-related posts – under the January 2017 topic begun by Tab Groups users @irvin:
- Concern about WebExtensions exclusive strategy from add-on authors and users
A good replacement for Tap Translate is Page Translator since it just landed support for Android

Save file To
At the moment there isn’t a filesystem API so WebExtensions don’t have access to File system which is required for the above extensions. WebExtensions can save file to the default download location. They can also open a Save As dialogue to let the user choose and navigate to the location.
On request, I made the “Replace” addon compatible with FF57. It also has Regular Expression capabilities.
As a replacement for:
