And that makes it better? Mozilla supposedly stands for openness and freedom then they go and help the Russian government.

As Mozilla, you probably don’t have much choice. What’s the alternative? Get yourself banned? How is that better? At least this way, locals can use Firefox despite not having access to those extensions. And people find clever ways to get those extensions anyway, so it’s the lesser evil I guess?
