It's curious that you now gate extensions behind a walled garden that is curated by Mozilla. This is not a technical issue, this is an organizational choice.
It's tough to read this in any way other than cynically. If Mozilla actually cared about extension support, they'd at least provide an advanced option to enable it outside of the curated list in Fenix. That they didn't speaks a lot to how much they really care.
At the risk of going too far off topic, Fenix really is a disaster. The walled garden for extensions is just one of the user hostile anti-features. I immediately uninstalled it and switched back to Fennec from f-droid. To be frank, you do not have a large enough user base that you can afford to alienate power users in this way. Pretty much the only reasons to use FF on mobile are its power user features, which have been mostly ripped out in this update.
