It's worth noting that most legacy extensions still actually work. You just need to enable them.

You can't enable them in the release version of Firefox. You'd have to use Nightly, I believe.

That might be true for this release, but Firefox has committed to moving away from XUL. That means your extensions are guaranteed to break eventually.

They prevent you from using the modern features though.
