Hello, I noticed that some plugins that claim of MPL 1.1 License is actually close source, furthermore, some of those even have “Recommended” tag. Since this is a big misleading considering these plugins actually have very broad permissions, I consider those plugins as abuse. I reported them 1 or 2 months ago but no response. I don't want to list those names out in case it was just the author selected a wrong selection, but i do believe that the author should correct that, and the more important thing is Mozilla should check this more carefully.

Extensions you mean as Plugins refer to the NPAPI Plugins that are no longer allowed to load in Firefox.
