I've been using Firefox for almost as long. Perf has been an issue for half a decade. Anecdotal evidence and telemetry analysis both suggest it's much more common to encounter the issue than not.
Don't get me wrong! I'd love to have both. But if we can't - and it seems right now that indeed we cannot - then I think perf has to be the one to pick. Otherwise the browser dies and we're all SOL.
Try backing up your profile and downgrading. I'd be surprised if anything breaks. Although I had also assumed anyone bringing legacy addons into 56 would be warned before the 57 update, so maybe I'm overly optimistic here.
