According to a member of the uBlock Origin team, and a Mozilla employee (different people):
gorhill has voluntarily taken down uBlock Origin Lite from the Mozilla Addons store and did not request Mozilla re-review the extension.
gorhill has announced the extension will only be available to be downloaded from GitHub.
This comes after Mozilla erroneously flagged an update to uBlock Origin Lite as violating their data collection polices. Mozilla did not remove the extension, and just blocked new updates.
A Mozilla employee raised the issue internally, but it seems gorhill is unwilling to appeal, originally stating

I don't have the time or motivation to spend time on this nonsense, so I will let AMO do whatever they want with uBOL.

This is a developing story, and new or corrected information may come out.

We'd been trying to find out how to do this for ages, then someone randomly just linked us to this article. It's blown our mind how simple it was 🤯

So FINALLY the extensions / add-ons page for Firefox will no longer burn our eyes with its whiteness 😎
