I stand corrected in a big way. I'm very pleased that Firefox is doing this, I need to go make my other doom-gloom be less doom-gloomy now.

  I'm glad they're making changes, but I'd advise everyone to keep a close watch on what they end up implementing and what potential security and privacy risks may be introduced. It seems like I'm having to disable something or other with every major update of firefox lately, and as long as they continue to let me disable risky features I'll keep using it. Nothing strikes a better balance between useful and secure like hardened a firefox install, but it takes a lot of vigilance and a willingness to add or modify hundreds of about:config options (after installing https://github.com/earthlng/aboutconfig https://github.com/earthlng/aboutconfig)

I don't think they've come out to support other extensions that will be killed in the crossfire however, such as ViolentMonkey or TamperMonkey. https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey/issues/1555 https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey/issues/1555 https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey/issues/644 https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey/issues/644 The only thing we have so far is a google rep stating that they'll "reaffirm that we plan to support userscript managers in Maniest V3 before the Manifest V2 deprecation"[0] back in May, which fills me with no hope at all that they won't simply be killed. 0: https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey/issues/644#issuecomment-1140110430 https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey/issues/644#issu...
