I expect that gradually the addons will get updated to the new interfaces, so this is just a temporary thing. Oh, no, these addons are permanently dead, and your best hope is to find alternatives, such as those made for Chrome. The addons have been given 2 years to switch, and if that haven't happen, that's unlikely to happen starting from today. As you may know, some most famous ones have announced death by their authors. Given my information from Mozilla employees, Mozilla has no motivation to make WebExtensions any more powerful to support any addon that requires extra functionalities to port from XUL. So give it up, try Pale Moon. -- Zhihao
