[Jee-Hex]

Add-ons Search Detection 2.0.0 is now baked into omni.ja (under omni.ja\chrome\browser\builtin-addons\search-detection\) like other built-in search extensions in FF95. Probably related to why FVD Speed Dial was recently banned from AMO.

I'm not sure why I had this bookmarked

Maybe because of this? FWIW in addition to RemoteSettings (1732792), UpdateService.jsm (1733994) and Telemetry (1733481) will also soon fail over outside the proxy. The failover system addon will then be deprecated (1738345).

[Thorin-Oakenpants]

Maybe because of this?

That's the one. Honestly, I must be tired, because I did check all issues with tom as author, and that flew right over my head, and I was thinking, that's weird they had two tickets for failover

[NylaTheWolf]

I'm really sorry if there's already an issue or something discussing this, but I genuinely couldn't find anything and I'm really curious, why was the 4.2.2 uBlock Origin page removed? Is it redundant or something?

[Thorin-Oakenpants]

Is it redundant

Yes. If you require any uBO help, there are uBO wikis and filterlist repos etc
