I looked for an ad-blocker badged "Compatible with Firefox 57+" and noticed ABP and uBlock Origin didn't have this badge. I was hoping FF would get something like Safari's Content-Blocking Rules. For such a common use case its an area ripe for optimization.

There is a webextension version of ublock origin. I'm not entirely sure ff 54 supports all the needed APIs. uBlock0.webext.xpi @ https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.12.4 https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.12.4 Edit: I've disabled the addon signing requirement and all seems to be working. Hopefully it gets on the AMO soon.

ublock will work fine with e10s. It's not a webextension yet, but it is e10s compatible already

  Firefox 57 will no longer support XUL extensions at all. It's due to be released in November 2017.

    ublock is actively maintained, and afaik they have been working on a webextensions version, so I assume they'll be ready by then if not soon after. In the meantime ublock works fine and is e10s compatible.
