So it's March 15. Anyone besides The Real Bev see anything regarding old 
versions of Firefox?

The article at Support Mozilla says that your installed add-ons will be 
disabled, but so far that is not the case.

I opened Firefox 47, which I use for certain things because it supports 
older add-ons. None of my add-ons were disabled and they seem to be 
functioning as before. NoScript, Classic Theme Restorer, Extended 
Statusbar, even the old Stylish are all working. The Automatic Updates 
status for each of these updates has been left at Default but I had 
separately gone in and manually disabled updating for Firefox. I also 
have xpinstall.signatures.required set to false (if that makes any 
difference). Even the built-in Firefox Tracking Protection is still 
working. Of course, blocklists have not been updated for some time.

I don't use old versions of Firefox for DRM-protected media playback, 
content signing or some other features that are affected. Many of the 
security risks were present before the root certificate expiration 
because I chose to block all updating.

Note: I'm not promoting the use of old versions of Firefox, just 
reporting what I see.
