The extension has to be updated to work as a Web Extension by the extension developer or a different one installed that performs the same or similar task. For example, instead of AdBlock Plus, use UBlock Origin which is a Web Extension now https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/?src=ss

I know the ublock and i don't like it. The user interface of ublock is not that practical as it was the adblock plus user interface.
I prefer uBlock after I quit using Adblock some time ago. Anyway, gotta wait for Adblock Plus to make a Web Extension version then. You might try the lastest beta version of Adblock Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/versions/beta
Do you believe all the others addons supported for firefox 57?
Classic Theme Restorer is not possible in Firefox 57+ because extensions can't change the user interface very extensively. Depending on what style changes you like, you may be able to accomplish the same changes with custom style rules.
For the others, could you check this document to see whether it helps with some of them:

Note that you can double-click name and password fields in the Password Manager to edit these fields. You can also use the right-click context menu. You only can't edit the other fields.
In Firefox 57, The WebExtensions API enables addons to be more secure and better performance with your browser. Unfortunately not all of them were updated.
