You can consult https://www.arewee10syet.com/ https://www.arewee10syet.com/ ; seems authors are mostly showing some efforts to migrate their extensions. CTR: seems OK, uBlock: uBockO: seems OK, DTA: bug, but at least tries to be e10s compatible, Mardown here: unknown (supposedly not compatible?) You can try yourself: either install https://nightly.mozilla.org/ https://nightly.mozilla.org/ and load it with your addons (it uses different profile) or use your stable one and look at about:support page for "Multiprocess Windows" cell if it states 1/1 and does not mention "(Disabled by add-ons)" you are covered. You can try some about:config alterations [0] to force it if you are adventurous. In this case, it might be nice to install "Add-on Compatibility Reporter" [1] for tracking and sharing your findings.

Total Mozilla noob here: Tab Mix Plus shows up as compatible. Does that mean that I will be able to use it with the new extension system?

  No, what this check means is that the recently introduced multiprocess-features of Firefox won't be blocked by Tab Mix Plus. You'll get much better performance, if you have no extensions which block that. The guy seems to be confusing things here, too. But while this doesn't confirm it, it neither confirms the opposite. So, it is very much still possible thst Tab Mix Plus gets ported to WebExtensions before the old add-ons get shut off, i.e. you might very well be able to use it still then, there's just currently no way to know yet. And as far as I can tell, the developer seems to have accepted porting it to WebExtensions and will most likely do it: http://tabmixplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=19282 http://tabmixplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=19282

Careful. The e10s transition is a much smaller step than the move to WebExtensions. To witness, notice how (higher up in this thread) the DTA developer once again said that there will be no DTA as a WebExtension.

  Oh, thanks for pointing this out, I really mixed multi-process and WebExtensions and diminished main XUL problem (which I oversimplified for myself as "just problem of settings pages to be rewritten to HTML" what is really wrong [0]). As I understand it WebExtension is inherently multi-process compatible so (to answer question below) the only extensions we know today will work next year from arewee10syet.com are those marked as "compatible-webextension". [0] Most of extensions I'm used to alters chrome visually or functionally: calls external applications, changes hotkeys, so almost none of them are XUL-free. But I still hope / believe Mozilla is not that insane and will achieve consensus keeping the most important features for extensions authors available in the end.
