* If you switch from SpyBlock to [[uBlock Origin]] (uBO). SpyBlock (part of IceCat) subscribes to all filters in http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/filters/ (note the non-SSL connection). All of them except javascript.txt are enabled by default. uBO can subscribe to Adblock Plus filters too, if anyone just could provide subscription links to them (not possible here in directory.fsf.org). I have asked the owner of https://adblockplus.org/en/subscriptions to add them there but note that http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/filters/javascript.txt and http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/filters/third-party.txt cannot be added because ABP doesn't support that "when in private browsing mode" feature, according to him.

* Search "gnuzilla" on https://filterlists.com/ if you want to subscribe to SpyBlock filters in [https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Filter-lists-from-around-the-web uBlock Origin] instead.

====Add-on hierarchy====
  
Mozilla [https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2015/08/21/the-future-of-developing-firefox-add-ons/ plans to deprecate all existing mozilla extensions next year] in favor of a new platform that is compatible with chromium and opera - from what ive read they are asking every extension developer to port to the new platform  - so it may turn out that many current add-ons will become obsolete soon if the developer does not port them. However, that's ok, we now have the historical tag so even if they're obsolete they could still be on the directory

By Firefox version:

* Firefox 55/56 support both legacy and WebExtensions.

* Firefox 57 only supports WebExtensions. Conclusion from https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis#Add-ons_Schedule: ONLY WebExtensions will be supported in Firefox 57. See [http://arewewebextensionsyet.com/ arewewebextensionsyet.com] for status.
  
:https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2015/08/21/the-future-of-developing-firefox-add-ons/ says: "The Electrolysis team has posted a list of popular add-ons for compatibility testing at [http://arewee10syet.com http://arewee10syet.com]. In addition to the steps above, developers are encouraged to review the list and follow the instructions to submit information about whether their add-ons are Electrolysis-compatible or not."

* Legacy:

** Firefox 55 and 56 label old add-ons "LEGACY" in  in the Add-ons Manager, like the integrated HTML5 Video Everywhere! add-on that ship with these versions.

* Multiprocess: Multiprocess Firefox (multiprocess) aka Electrolysis (E10s) compatible.
