Forcing v. 57 on the long-term loyal users of Firefox 56.0.2 was, IMO, a very bad decision. Your team should man up and admit it and provide relief for us. the 52 ESR will not support addons many of us use as part of the key functionality we depend on. At the VERY MINIMUM please provide a patch that will stop 56 from updating over-and-over-again! Please.

No. For security reasons, we cannot do this.

Yours. As addons where being hacked through their code. There is only going back to 52. and again things were changed in that because addons were being hacked at is minimum way to do things , I believe. https://www.howtogeek.com/333230/why-firefox-had-to-kill-your-favorite-extension/ info re: add-ons inside , one at page bottom duplicate's it. How about looking at these 2 URL's : https://www.howtogeek.com/333110/how-to-customize-firefox-quantum-and-remove-the-white-space-around-the-title-bar/ and The name is not descriptive enough : https://www.howtogeek.com/332449/whats-new-in-firefox-quantum/

More information will come out slowly. New extensions are being made and some older ones being updated that are tracked here : http://bit.ly/2j0Anlj

The other reason for change is that the W3C.org (World Wide Web Consortium) in charge of standards and practices and future for browsers and web pages and their code decides what happens. Mozilla adheres to the standards and practices set by the W3C.
