give in and switch to the path of least resistance
Which is.. to keep using Firefox? Firefox's WebExtensions API offers more than Chrome's does (see the browser comparison tables). The claims that Firefox is a "Chrome clone" are silly.
uBlock Origin works better in Firefox 57 than possible in Chrome (gorhill is the developer of uBlock Origin). Firefox's webRequest API was extended for NoScript's use (and it will use it when it gets released in a couple of days).
You can use the Customize tool to customize the interface and remove the blank space. Either right-click in the space on the toolbar and select Customize or go via the Hamburger menu -> Customize.
No, the next step is to get Adobe to release a WebAssembly build of the Flash run time. And if Adobe doesn't care about Flash enough to do that then tough luck, kid.
It seems like you're in stage 3 of grief: bargaining.

Slashdot Mirror
There's some suspicion
Your suspicions are laughable and false.
NoScript - "but it will be out later today!" only works for so long
Right, it works until it's released later this week.
DownThemAll
The WebExtensions version of DownThemAll is in development. Had Nils done that earlier instead of throwing a temper tantrum a year ago, you'd have DownThemAll by now.

like shit on a blanket
Dude, I think you need a training course in how to sleep. I'm confident you're doing it wrong.
NoScript's current release state. It was going to be released today but now it's a couple of days away.
Fuck Google.
I'd advise against it. Google doesn't cuddle, doesn't call, but creepily stalks you afterward.
me: NoScript, Classic theme restorer, Cutebuttons, Hide Tab Bar, Status-4-Evar, Tabs on bottom, etc
NoScript is on the way. You can modify the UI in the Classic Theme Restorer style with CSS and similarly for CuteButtons.
You treat Firefox users so terribly.
Maybe it's just the language barrier.
Can you point me to the appropriate place to complain to the Classic Theme Restorer people?
Here you go.
I wish Video DownloadHelper would get ported
Version 7 has been released with Firefox 57 support.
but the tab coloring SUCKS
You can pick a different theme in the Customize settings. Firefox ships with three themes (Default, Light, and Dark). I use the Light theme.
it might be the end of Firefox
Unlikely. Just relax. You'll feel better.
gobs of blank space in the toolbar for no reason
You can use the Customize tool to customize the interface and remove the blank space. Either right-click in the space on the toolbar and select Customize or go via the Hamburger menu -> Customize.
witnessing 11/14 as the day the web was lost.
Boohoo. We're doomed! I have only 6,231 add-ons to choose from with more being added every day. How ever will I survive?
Oh noes. Don't be a Debbie Downer. Tweet the praise yourself.
NoScript for Firefox 57 will be released today. Just wait a while.
It disabled NoScript.
NoScript for Firefox 57 will be released today. Don't worry, be happy.
But not changing the rendering engine.
That isn't the case. You should read about the changes in 57 and the changes to come
we will no longer be able to monitor and audit the content of web pages and the scripts.
False. Read the FAQ.
which the end user won't be able to access anymore
No. You can view source on WebAssembly modules. Also see the FAQ.
That sounds like a frequently asked question.
The developer of It's All Text recommends emacs chrome or GhostText.
The next step is to dig up
No, the next step is to get Adobe to release a WebAssembly build of the Flash run time. And if Adobe doesn't care about Flash enough to do that then tough luck, kid.

Firefox, Opera and Vivaldi barely register.
So change that. Apathy is useless. Use Firefox or Opera or Vivaldi.
