After the recent Firefox upgrade some of my 'stuff' disappeared.  So I went
to the add on manager and got this information:

 

Starting in Firefox version
<https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/find-what-version-firefox-you-are-usin
g>  57, only extensions built using WebExtensions APIs will work. Not sure
if your add-ons are affected? See Firefox add-on technology is modernizing
<https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-add-technology-modernizing>
and these Frequently Asked Questions
<https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/frequently-asked-questions-firefox-add
on>  for details.

 

And promptly disabled:

 

Adblock Plus

Dark Theme for Firefox

EPUB Reader

Google Translator (!)

And 

LastPass.

 

I know they'[re trying to protect me from the bad guys.  But to simply
disable my add-ons without any warning or explanation and leave me to hunt
down the cause.is pretty high-handed.

 

Now I gotta go find replacements. L
