Microsoft removes functioning OneNote Web Clipper add-on from AMO, stating "people should use a modern browser like Edge"

www.onenote.com OneNote Web Clipper Installation

Quickly capture any webpage to OneNote where you can easily edit, annotate, or share it. Clip the full page, or clip only the article, recipe, or product information you really need.

Web Clipper allows you to quickly capture any webpage to OneNote where you can easily edit, annotate, or share it.

I still have the add-on installed and it is working just fine. If I remove it, I won't be able to re-install it.
This feels like another dishonest statement pushing users towards Edge.

The add-on should be brought back to Firefox!

I haven't tried to load it to see if it will verify (i.e., whether it's a perfect copy).
According to a cached copy of the old page, it was released under the MIT license, which would make it free to modify and redistribute subject to some minor notice requirements. So it can live on if someone wants to move it forward. (There seem to be a lot of repositories on Github, but perhaps not specific to Firefox?)
