It seems to avoid the problem that Mozilla created with the non-commercial licensing.

On the other hand it still uses the addons.mozilla.org website which intermixes free and proprietary addons. It would not be suitable for inclusion in Trisquel, or indeed any FSF-endorsed distro, until this were changed.

https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html
"A free system distribution must not steer users towards obtaining any nonfree information for practical use, or encourage them to do so."

But ideally a conversation could happen with the Waterfox developers to coordinate the development of an addon repository that only contains free software. Trisquel maintains a list https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons and so does the FSF on their Free Software Directory at https://directory.fsf.org. This seems a waste of effort and ideally efforts can be consolidated and used by all.
