Half my add-on extensions have become inactive, and I can't activate them again.

About half my add-on extentions have becom disabled, and the "enable" option is greyed out and no longer works to enable my addons. I can add new extentions. But I can't re-enable my old ones.

Any help would be appreciated!

Is your question about Firefox for Android, or Desktop Firefox?

I'm using Firefox for Android Beta 57.0.

As of Firefox 57 (Desktop version) only webextensions will be supported. I'm not exactly sure, but I believe legacy extensions won't be disabled in Firefox for Android, as long as they are still compatible, Most likely your disabled extensions aren't compatible anymore. https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2017/09/28/webextensions-in-firefox-57/

I'm using the Android version of Firefox Beta, But it appears that several of the extentions that make FF much easier to use became incompatible when Firefox was "upgraded."

I can no longer use Noscript, Restart, HTTPS Everywhere, Last Pass, Toggle Javascript, etc., etc., so it's a downgrade from my perspective!

You should check with the extension authors if/when their extension will be available as a webextension. E.g. for NoScript that should be the case by the time FF57 is released. By using a beta, you should be aware that things can break. If you don't like that, use the release version.

Firefox for Android just updated to 57. Totally different look and, not only do most of my add-ons not work, I can't even find them when I search the add-ons site. The two I miss most are phony and quit now. I hate not having them and I hate the new look. As far as I'm concerned, this is the worst update in a long time.
