You can turn them off basically except their "rapid release" releases - and even then, you can get unbranded Mozilla-compiled builds that can unlock the functionality (on desktop). Google has something to do why the Android Firefox is crippled: before Firefox 68 was released, the Google reviewers actually rejected it owing to the addons system. (Yes, I know Kiwi browser exists. I don't understand the reviewers' logic but here we are.) Fortunately, FF 68 is an ESR release and was able to stop-gap the issue by releasing security updates (which aren't blocked by Google). Unfortunately, this is the reason Mozilla is only shipping "recommended addons": Mozilla has individually reviewed it because Google will penalise Mozilla if there's a malicious addon on their store. (Note that I won't shield Mozilla on the "Daylight" updates: I hope that they just continue Fennec rather than they rewrite it but personally it's fine.)
