At least for the time being, you can use legacy extensions, by enabling the right option [1] in about:config.

[1] extensions.legacy.enabled -> true

You can enable legacy extensions but this is not the same as being able to use them. Many significant and important-to-me legacy extensions (such as FireGestures) are currently non-functional on Firefox Nightly and have been for some time. I can only assume that Mozilla has decided that they don't care about keeping any legacy extensions working other than their own (they have some).
