ArtVandelay , 23 days ago to Technology in Firefox Browser Blocks Anti-Censorship Add-Ons at Russia’s Request

Think about it, pretend you are the Mozilla CEO. You get a request demand from Putin that you block these addons, and you have two options. A) Make a stink and stick to your principles, of which Putin has none, and so you get Firefox banned in Russia altogether. Now, Russians who want to use it cannot, and are forced to use other browsers that Putin can control. or B) Comply with the request, knowing users can still load extensions from the side.

Only one of these two options leads to the possibility of Russians being able to use Firefox with these addons, and it's B.

Oh and fuck Putin, just because.
