Firefox tends to follow Chrome closely. And as time goes on, they limit extensions more and more. The latest preview of Firefox Mobile doesn't support them at all. Hopefully, it is just temporary but it used to be the killer feature of Firefox mobile.

It is not pure evil, there are security reasons behind that. Manifest V3 is also a security improvement so I wouldn't put it passed Mozilla to implement it.

Mozilla has officially said [1] that it has no immediate plans to implement this kind of content blocking and removing the requests API for extensions, but I think it’s a matter of time before this is done. Mozilla’s FAQ on this [1] is extensive enough for the moment.
