Lowering the severity as Firefox remains usable and safe.

The features that you are mentioning are provided by extension and not by the Firefox package itself.
In parallel, I guess some of them will be ported to 57 in the next few weeks.

Last but not least, you can still use Firefox esr:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/firefox-esr
Where the extensions will probably work.
