    Roskomnadzor probably has something to do with it.

    Tbf, it’s probably to prevent Russia from carpet banning Mozilla services and products. They might just do that, create a new foundation called “MegaLizard”, with the browser “Greyhound”…

    That being said, unlike with Chrome, installing third party extensions for Firefox outside the extension store is fairly uncomplicated.
