How much freedom does firefox have again? How long until they ban UBlock Origin?

It’s not banned. Even this notice says it can be re-enabled easily.
IIRC, they banned it from Mozilla Addon Store quite some time ago. But it can still be easily sideloaded and once done, will be auto updated as well. It works on both desktop and mobile as well.
I think the controversial nature of the extension caused them to remove it from AMO.
Hypothetically, if one were to install something like a banned extension, where would one go to get it? Hypothetically, of course.
I’ll be sure to bookmark to better avoid this. Very unfriendly to shareholders
It has a Wikipedia entry.
You can still use it though, just like when google bans an app from the play store you can still get it elsewhere.
I sideloaded BPC and it was disabled for me; granted, I could re-enable it, but Mozilla decided to allow me to do that, and they easily could not have allowed it.
They need the google money…
