<em>NOTE:</em> Vimperator will stop functioning with Firefox 57!
</p>

<p>
Firefox 57 will change its add-on ecosystem to be exclusively based on
<link topic="https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2016/11/23/add-ons-in-2017/">WebExtensions</link>.
While this offers (some) compatibility with extensions written for Chrome
and Microsoft Edge, it removes the possibility to do many advanced stuff
which Vimperator does. Additionally, it would require a full rewrite of
Vimperator, which nobody has volunteered for. Therefore we will stop
supporting any Firefox version later than Firefox 56. Head over to our
GitHub page for
<link topic="https://github.com/vimperator/vimperator-labs#end-of-life-and-alternatives">a list of alternatives</link>
or <link topic="https://github.com/vimperator/vimperator-labs/issues/705">a detailed discussion</link>.
