I received an automated notification on my personal email regarding this
policy change:
https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2021/11/03/add-on-policy-changes-2021/

I don't think Flagon would be too adversely affected, but some of the
bullets do apply. Here are the main changes:

   - Collecting browsing activity data, such as visited URLs, history,
   associated page data or similar information, is only permitted as part of
   an add-on’s primary function. Collecting user data or browsing information
   secretively remains prohibited.
   - Add-ons that serve the sole purpose of promoting, installing, loading
   or launching another website, application or add-on are *no longer
   permitted* to be listed on addons.mozilla.org.
   - Encryption – standard, in-browser HTTPS – is now *always required*
   when communicating with remote services. In the past, this was only
   required when transporting sensitive information.
   - The section on cookie policies has been removed, and providing a
   consent experience for accessing cookies is no longer required. Note
   however, that if you use cookies to access or collect technical data, user
   interaction data or personal data, you will still require a consent
   experience at first run of the add-on.

There are some other ones, but these are the main new requirements.

Regards,
Rob
