Summary

LiveReload is a tool commonly used for web development that automatically refreshes the browser when changes are made to the project files. As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, there might be several browser extensions or tools that offer similar functionality, and it's possible that new extensions have been developed since then.

To find a web extension based version of LiveReload that supports Firefox 57 (Firefox Quantum) or later, you can visit the Firefox Add-ons website and search for extensions related to live reloading or automatic browser refresh for web development.

Here are the general steps to find and install extensions in Firefox:

Open Firefox and go to the Firefox Add-ons website. Use the search bar to search for terms like "LiveReload" or "auto refresh." Browse through the search results to find an extension that fits your requirements. Check the extension's details, reviews, and compatibility information. Click on the "Add to Firefox" button to install the extension. Please note that the availability and compatibility of extensions may change over time, and it's always a good idea to check the latest information on the Firefox Add-ons website.
