It feels faster, even on my super-old laptop. The only thing that I have to miss is DownThemAll ext. Any suggestions of worthy replacement of it?

I like Firefox 57 a lot!
How did you get it looking like that with the orange firefox icon in the upper left?
I still get times where it randomly slows down and locks up. When it does it, if I go to the task manager I find it's using 100% of the GPU when I try to scroll down the frozen page. Kind of frustrating that I end up going back to Chrome. Now it could be one of my extensions I will admit so I could do some testing to narrow it down. I had to uninstall an extension on Chrome for the same reason.
Also it still doesn't go back instantly when I push the back button like Chrome. Hopefully they work on that one. I don't need the page refreshed every time I press "back" ... just load the previous page from cache.
Here is a link to Google Doc that has a list of popular addons and if they are ported or not
The Beast adopted new raiment and studied the ways of Time and Space and Light and the Flow of energy through the Universe. From its studies, the Beast fashioned new structures from oxidised metal and proclaimed their glories. And the Beast’s followers rejoiced, finding renewed purpose in these teachings.

Are you sure it has actually been deleted? Stylish shouldn't be deleting old scripts. Rather they have to be manually re-imported due to how security works on WebExts.Firefox 57 squashed my addons. Okay, but the big deal for me was Stylish. The update deleted all my data for that addon. Such as the custom CSS I was using for this forum that I didn't make recent backups of. Probably some changes that I haven't remembered to re-write yet. Shame, that.
Try Stylus for restyling. Stylish has begun some questionable anti user practices. You should be able to retrieve your old tweaks from the profile folder, but I couldn't say exactly where.
