Two Thousand Seventy-Four (2,274) is a far cry from Twelve Thousand (~12,000) or so on AMO or the roughly Seven Thousand (~7,000) in use by Pale Moon users as of late 2015.

That's a good "glass half full" title, but the reality is that the overwhelming majority of Firefox add-ons, 16,540 to be precise, are currently incompatible with Firefox 57.
Gotta love the comments. ;)

Well it is 12k that are Firefox 4+ extensions only.. The rest are either Firefox 3.6 or older or for other applications like SeaMonkey and Thunderbird and that 16+k includes persona entries, search plugins, dictionaries, langpacks and of course themes etc.. I was going by extensions only..

Also, how many of those 2274 are inconsequential extensions that just add a button to the UI for something simple?
