The mozilla add-ons site actually rejected the version with tracking (the post acquisition one) for some years due to the tracking and still featured the old version without tracking. Chrome's webstore version did have the tracking, tho.

Now in the era of WebExtensions (which are SOOO much more secure!!!) it seems they finally approved a version published by those bad actors. No idea tho if and what tracking is in there and if mozilla stuck to their guns and made them remove tracking or not.

Is there a source you're using for this info? As I visited a couple times during that period (including mid this year) and saved a personal copy of the Versions URL which listed multiple versions post acquisition available [1].

[1] Specifically: 2.1.1 (2017-10-31), 3.0.1 (2017-11-10), and 3.1.1 (2018-05-23).
