I have seen that Mozilla is breaking my security ad ons from EFF an F-secure by calling them legacy and no longer supporting them, while they are important for the security of browsing the web. I noticed that by accident and I don't like that you break important security parts of the browser without notifying and without giving these security organizations the time to roll out a new version that will not be blocked by you. I very often install Firefox on laptops or phones of friends as I tell them that Firefox is secure. But breaking important security ad ons is not te right way to attract more people to use Firefox. Why you did so, why you did it in this way anf how are you going to solve this?

Firefox has multiple security settings and has regular security updates;
you're pretty safe using Firefox on the web. Plus : there is Windows' built-in Defender.

The security add-ons that you are talking about : It is up to the developers to keep their add-ons updated and migrate them to Webextensions. You should contact the developer(s) of those add-ons and ask them to update.
