Then I guess I must be getting special treatment from Mozilla then or somehow am downloading a different installer from GetFirefox.com because it’s always been installed for me on a fresh install after a reformat or when putting it on someone else’s computer since I switched back from Chrome after rumors about Manifest V3 started circulating a few years back. 🙄
You are someone I most often agree with on Lemmy, but you are simply mistaken here. Plug-ins get restored if you login to a Firefox account, so perhaps that’s why you think that it’s default for UBO to be installed, but it simply isn’t.
Im guessing adding plugins is part of your default workflow when installing browsers somehow. Ublock origin is the most used plugin on firefox Id reckon, but a fresh install doesnt carry it.
It is not. I just installed Firefox today on a new machine. It is, however, synced to all my machines when I’ve logged in.

That’s what I’m assuming as well. They must be getting it from logging in.
