In new version of firefox preview nightly I see 5 new add ons added which is good but I feel 2 of them are not required or bad.

Https everywhere: I see starting from firefox v76 (available in firefox preview nightly too) you have added a flag dom.security.https_only_mode when enabled works similar to https everywhere add on or I would say works even better. So when firefox has this elegant solution what is the need of a 3rd party add-on? Please add this preference item under privacy and settings as a toggle. So that user can enable this rather than adding a 3rd party add on.

No script: this add-on when enabled block almost all content on the webpage and UI is quite old and difficult to understand or configure. Rather than this add on I request to add umatrix which is way too modern and easy to customise . This is developed by same developer of ublock origin . Will be a good companion

NoScript blocks Javascript on a web page, which is the whole point using it. It does not block 'almost all content'. A web page may not properly function when Javascript is blocked though. Then this site needs to be whitelisted, which is a pretty simple thing to do.

UI is quite old and difficult to understand or configure.

I don't know what you mean with 'quite old'. It really isn't difficult to use, but it certainly helps to spend a little effort reading the documentation to understand how it works. I'm pretty certain the same could be said about umatrix.
