Hello Krahenbuhl,
We understand that you are having some trouble with the add-ons you have in your profile. We expect you might be seeing disabled Legacy add-ons, or see that some of your add-ons were disabled after the update to Firefox 57. We are happy to help.
I was able to install Grammarly from here.
In Firefox 57, The WebExtensions API enables addons to be more secure and better performance with your browser. Unfortunately not all of them were updated. To check if yours were see arewewebextensionsyet.com. We did create a feature to help you find a replacement for your favorite addon Read more here
To find replacements for your legacy add-on:
- Go to ‘about:addons,’ click on ‘Legacy Extensions,’ and
- Click the button for ‘Find a Replacement’.
If a replacement doesn’t exist or isn’t helpful, please use this utility to find recommended alternatives. If you don’t find a suitable replacement, please head over to the addons forum for help. We expect legacy add-ons to continue migrating even after Firefox 57.
There’s also a community-sourced list of alternatives on Google Docs
Due to other changes in Firefox, we can’t delay the switch to WebExtensions APIs. We’re here to help you find alternatives to your favorite extensions. To start, use this utility to find recommended alternatives. If not, please head over to our forum to ask for help.
What addons are compatible in Firefox 57? You can search addons.mozilla.org for compatible extensions here: https://mzl.la/2wFQ19a
How can I keep track of what addons are ready? We are tracking them here: http://bit.ly/2j0Anlj. If you don’t see what you were looking for, let us know and we’ll look into it.
Cheers, Patrick

I am able to install Grammarly, but not New Tab Wallpapers because it says it is not compatible with Firefox Quantum. What to do now?
