And since you won’t be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.
The community feedback is… interesting to say the least.

I didn’t start using Firefox again because of privacy, but because extensions doesn’t exist on chrome on Android. So I switched to Firefox on both Android and PC. Later it starts with forcing this Manifest v3 or something like that for extensions, and I was really happy I already switched to Firefox. And now even this stupid thing. I am pretty sure I will not look back at chrome again. The only downside is that Firefox on desktop doesn’t support PWA out of the box (especially when I am developing PWA app on my own), but there is an extension and an app that adds support for PWA even on the desktop. And also, PWA is supported on firefox on Android, but I don’t get notifications on my own PWA app, while on Chrome I am getting it every time. Notifications are on for Firefox.
The only thing I find Firefox inferior over Chrome is Webgl support. Specifically browser-based games.
Although they are playable on Firefox, they play much more smoother on Webkit and it’s sister, Chromium.
Like let us say you get 90fps on Webkit or Chromium, in Firefox you get around 50-60fps. That kind of difference which to gamers, may find off putting.
