They've implemented V3. What they're not doing is removing support for V2, so plugins that want the full access can do so.
Is there a public page/link which mentions that they're not removing V2 support? Please share. Thanks.
All I can find is:
We have not yet set a deprecation date for Manifest v2 but expect it to be supported for at least one year after Manifest v3 becomes stable in the release channel.
https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2021/05/27/manifest-v3-updat...
So they will eventually remove it sooner than later.
On the same page: "We will support blocking webRequest until there’s a better solution which covers all use cases we consider important, since DNR as currently implemented by Chrome does not yet meet the needs of extension developers."
I wonder why they go with Google. Other companies are a much better fit. Time to untangle themselves.

Because money.

Firefox maker, Mozilla, is in the uneasy position of being financially dependent on its search deal with Google, which accounts for the majority of the organization's revenue.
I wonder how Google will be able to twist its arms (and trust me, they will use all their power and abuse their position to attempt it) to either implement V3 or find some other way to kill ad blockers / allow ads on Firefox.
