Can I get help finding add-ons that have been disabled?
Greetings,
I upgraded to 57.0 tonight, only to learn after the fact that a lot of my add-ons have been disabled. It offers a search to find compatible add-ons, but what do you do if you can't find any... unless I'm looking for the wrong thing?
Here's a list of what I'm now missing:
Colorful Tabs Download Status Bar FlashStopper Moment Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar Plus NoScript SearchStatus
All my Greasemonkey scripts; at least I remembered FB Purity and added it back
Thanks for any assistance you can give me.

Here are your choices; 1) Contact its support and ask if they will update 2) Find a replacement 3) Downgrade to a prior Firefox 4) Do without
The best places to find replacement addons are:

For FlashStopper, you can achieve a similar affect by enabling a hidden Firefox setting:
- type: "about:config" in the address bar
- click the "I accept the risk" button
- type "media.autoplay.enabled" in the search box
- double-click on the item that appears to change the value to "true"
The NoScript developer has stated that he will be releasing a version compatible with Firefox 57 within the next few days: https://twitter.com/ma1/status/930613057184763905
I'm not sure about the other addons.
