I've tried alternatives like Waterfox and Pale Moon, but Waterfox is incompatible with some sites, and Pale Moon is dog slow, so I reverted back to Firefox 56.
Not upgrading a browser is a scary situation to be in, but I just can't sacrifice the usability of Vimperator.
I'm posting this comment using FF 56 also. I don't agree with the decisions they made. I think that the old extension mechanism is fine; add-ons should be able to integrate deeply into browser internals.

Oh, I haven't experienced that in a few months of usage. What kind of incompatibilities did you come across?
I was initially reluctant about trying Waterfox and made several backups of my then-Firefox profile, but it's been a smooth sail and an easy switch so far.
In Waterfox, Slack shows a message that it doesn't support the browser and refuses to load. This could possibly be bypassed by changing the UA, but I don't agree with that workaround. Although, if hard pressed, I might have to.
And I mistakenly wrote Pale Moon above, when I meant IceCat. I've yet to try Pale Moon, but it's on my list.
