But it was removed from AMO. That was an issue as people that installed it from AMO just stopped receiving updates silently. You had to uninstall it and re-install the gitlab version for the auto-update to work again.

Hmm, didn't catch that. I see there's still _a_ Bypass add-on on Mozilla. There always were a few, and close forks last I bothered to check. Is this different?

There are some but with very few users and limited to a small number of sites. The only one still on AMO that comes close is the one by iamadamdev (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bypass-paywal...) which is discussed here : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40016918

It was removed from AMO after it was already on the site. Maybe they didn't want to move it.
