Is this about using Legacy extensions in Firefox that won't be supported in Firefox 57?
You should switch to the Firefox 52 ESR release if you do not want to use Firefox 57+ releases.

Never Check for Updates is what you want. As states Not Recommend as updates fix security issues for your browsing safety.
You have answered why you want to remain at version 56.0.1 Firefox 57 Quantum will be much better/faster/less ram and will have fixed all issues in 56 and https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/quantum/ and see https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/26/mozillas_new_firefox_quantum/
Most Extension Developers are updating their programs for ver 57 and if not there are/will be alternatives.
