Tab Mix Plus, DownloadThemAll, RightToClick, Status-4-Evar... all regularly used by me, none migrated yet. Not to mention the loss of Classic Theme Restorer's control over the UI highly disappoints me. I really really dislike being locked into the "Chrome Style" UI. I've disliked it since Chrome was released.
It's coming. He has started. You can help by becoming a patron.

I would like to switch to Bitwarden, but I don't know how I can assure I can trust them with all my passwords. Are any of the founders well-known security experts? Has the service been recommended by respected security researchers? I am not a security expert, so I cannot assert their trustworthiness myself. I know that you can run your own server. But even then, without auditing the code, configuring a firewall, and…
I didn't pick Bitwarden right away. The comment that mentioned it prompted me to research password managers in general. I looked at primarily online (1Password, LastPass, Bitwarden, etc) and offline desktop client ones (Keepass). I do prefer the idea of using something like Keepass and not relying on a service but I found it rather frustrating to manage between my multiple devices. I knew if I were to actually make u…

I use KeePass as my password manager, it doesn't sync automatically across all my devices, I occasionaly transfer my keys database to my phone. You could always upload your encrypted key database to dropbox, and keep your private key on your phone, on your computer, or on a USB stick, if you want automatic sync.
Just make sure to configure Syncthing to ignore KeePass lockfiles.

Unfortunately that's also where I'll stop during at least a few months after Firefox 57 is released. Quantum is ultra fast, but my extensions are more important. Greasemonkey and Stylish, for example, have equivalent WebExtensions, but they're not as polished. Same with DownThemAll. I think WebExtensions should have matured a bit longer, with Quantum, electrolysis, and Photon being made available for all with the old…
At least for the time being, you can use legacy extensions, by enabling the right option [1] in about:config. [1] extensions.legacy.enabled -> true

Unfortunately, a profile backwards-incompatibility was added in FF55, IIRC, so if you're already on 56 you can't downgrade to 52.
A forum thread[1] suggests it may be possible to use the profile refresh functionality to recover most of the profile. Only problem is that it does not preserve extensions or settings. [1]: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=3032457

FYI: KeePass plus Syncthing works great for me for cross-device password databases.

What does it preserve, then? (Bookmarks? That's the easy thing to restore. Transfer to another browser then transfer back.)

Frustrated by the new "screenshots" tool. The "save" button automatically uploads your screenshot up to mozilla servers. The "download" button saves it to your computer. It seems completely backwards. The "save" button should save it to my computer (there's no reason call something a "download" when it's already local). The "download" button should be replaced with an "upload & share" button that sends it to mozilla'…
