what, with the alleged issues surrounding v.57 quantum, would anyone want to go there until the bugs are worked out? "if something works, don't fix it".
all the versions of firefox i've used have worked with minimal issues. now with the quantum release, i read where there are quite a few that wish they didn't upgrade. that is why i'm hesitant to do so at this point.

Support Volunteers can't make changes to Firefox and I would need to know this for ...oh, there is no question.
The W3C.org (World Wide Web Consortium) in charge of standards and practices and future for browsers and web pages make the Rules. Mozilla adheres to the rules since the code using was from Netscape Navigator days had to rewrite the code for the last 5yrs to adhere to the rules about security (so was broken), you now have a sandboxed section running for Firefox. Many other reasons to do so also. This information has been available for the last 5yrs and in the last few months all over.
How about looking at these 2 URL's first : 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
Unfortunately 56.0.2 is no longer safe to use for every day use, but 52.5.0 ESR is! It will continue to get security updates until May 2018, and you can download and install it from this page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/ Note : Legacy Extensions will be deleted or removed in any version update after May 2018. (Security stuff again....)
You should make a backup of your Profile before going back and just because: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance by asking a question. Thank You.
Which "alleged issues"?
Most of what I see being posted is misunderstanding the new features that came in Firefox 57 and "sore losers" who expected Mozilla to keep making Firefox with all the old features - like maybe forever.
If you have a specific support question - ask it - we'll be happy to answer it the best we can.
If you want a polemic with us, take it elsewhere.
Personally, I am not happy with the direction that Mozilla has taken with Firefox over the past couple of years. So unhappy that I have continued to use a foolishly old version (38.5 ESR) for a god part of my time on the internet. I also have more different web browsers currently installed (5) than I have ever had since I entered the internet in 1997; trying to find one that I liked better than the newer rendition of Firefox. Overall, Firefox 57 Quantum is still the "lesser of evils", IMO.
so my two first issues are I cant log into my Craigslist account , says it doesn't exist . had it forever have never had a problem . secondly I cant log into Comcast ? that is where my ISP is ..... Facebook works great though but that's just for wasting time not making money
