At the end of 2017, Mozilla released a version of Firefox called Firefox Quantum, all new and that broke with the past and proposed itself as the fastest browser of all.
Indeed, to the test of the facts, Firefox Quantum offers a very clean and customizable interface, a very fast page loading, a better use of memory and integrated tools such as Pocket to save pages
The problem with the release of Quantum is that Mozilla, with the new version, has zeroed the compatibility of the old extensions so that the performance of Firefox was not penalized by addon to security threat.
All developers therefore had to update their extensions in order not to become incompatible with Firefox Quantum.
Starting with Quantum, the only extensions supported are those created with WebExtensions, while the older ones don't work .
In this article we discover 20 best extensions compatible with Firefox Quantum
1) Firefox Multi-Account Containers is the extension to separate the various accounts of websites, such as social and email, so as to keep browsing separate and navigate with two or more accounts on the same sites.
In this way it is possible to use different identities (for example two Facebook accounts) online simultaneously.
2) LastPass Password Manager is one of the best extensions to save passwords, which works well in Firefox Quantum to store all logins to websites behind a master password which becomes the only one to remember.
3) Privacy Badger is the best extension to protect privacy, block advertising trackers and load websites faster.
This is certainly the best extension to block intrusive ads on sites, because it is customizable, easy to use and to control, which does not consume memory as an adblock and does not block content in web applications.
4) HTTPS Everywehere, an extension that forces every site you visit to use SSL encryption for added security, if available (and more often than not, it is).
This way you always surf HTTPS and prevent spying programs from spying on what we write on these sites.
5) Marker is a very powerful extension to capture the screen, photograph it, add notes and share it with other people.
To use it just click on the Marker icon on the toolbar and select what you want to capture.
6) Amazon Assistant for Firefox is the official Amazon assistant for Firefox to make better purchasing decisions, without visiting the Amazon website.
By clicking on the extension icon you can open the list of orders, gift lists and check the offers of the day.
7) Keepa, the extension that tracks the prices of Amazon products to find out if the discounts are true and if a product cost more or less in the recent past.
8) Atodelete cookies, the extension that takes out the cookies of the websites visited to maintain some privacy and not to leave a "memory" of them on the computer.

The extension requires you to create an account to work, but it is fast and secure (at least it should).
11) Momentum is an extension that changes the interface of the new page tab with a relaxing scenario, a clock and a personalized message.
It also offers links to favorite sites, weather forecasts and lists of activities, in order to have a more useful tab to open Firefox.
