It also doubled in speed. As a long term FF user (and webdev), I was over the moon to trade in a few extensions for that sort of performance boost.

A year or so after the fact, I can't even remember what I've lost. Couldn't have been that important.

It became faster (not sure about double though) but i still remember losing MAFF, DownThemAll and a bunch of other addons. More importantly it is the functionality that was lost for new addons to be made that could provide features not thought by anyone before.
