Mozilla seems to go out of its way to make it harder for right-leaning people to back them with every move they make... I can't help but feel we're in for a bumpy 2021.

Purely anecdotal, but I know a bunch of "right leaning" people who are completely done with the bullshit and share Mozilla's sentiment. You may be speaking for fewer people than you realize.

    Pretty sure that wasn’t his plan, given the months-long campaign to overturn the election: which culminated in him inciting a riot.

      Trump definitely had a chance to remain relevant post-election. As someone that monitors "alt-right" type people, he did a very poor job capitalizing on any of that. The past couple months have basically been the losing team talking up a big game to make themselves feel better. The riots have been going all year. It was a different crowd this time, but riots are old news at this point. It wasn't a good look for the MAGA crowd and more than anything probably would have cowed them into submission. But then Big Tech had to turn around and give everyone a reason to be pissed off again.

        At this point, it merely sounds like you've started with the conclusion that Big Tech is bad and then worked backwards to sound reasonable. In particular since the "riots have been going all year" is demonstrably false nonsense. Parades and rallies, maybe. Riots? What? And how are you even going to equivocate riots to an invasion of the physical center of the US government by whiny "patriots" who had no other plan except to waltz in and wait for the next cutscene to start?

  So, if both left- and right-leaning people are "completely done" with free speech, we're headed for good times, right?

  You are very mistaken if you think the events of the last few months have done anything but accelerate the the gap between coastal cities and flyover country.
