Unfortunately it does violate the DMCA and so Mozilla must enforce takedown requests or they'll be liable for damages.

They have instructions for installation on their GitHub repo:

That link shows their Chrome version. When I click the Firefox repo link on that page it asks me to log in. Is that normal for GitHub? I don't think I've had to log in to view other software.

That's GitLab, not GitHub. Sounds like they took the repo private.

Good catch, I missed that it was GitLab.

What's the story there? Anyone know why or is it just speculation?

I'm not sure but this point might be the crucial one:

  • Add-ons and their content must conform to the laws of the United States. (Add-ons that violate or have content that violates the law in other jurisdictions may also be removed or have access limited.)
