I'm personally really happy for firefox 57. I never switched to Chrome, primarily because of privacy concerns, and I suspect that there are a good number of users in a similar situation. The migration to web-extensions was a little annoying (had to find a different password generator).

While they could have split the product into two (like they did with Firefox & Seamonkey) and let the former product languish, I'm not that would have made many users much happier. For what it's worth, you can still use Firefox 56 (or even Seamonkey).
