From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This update doesn't seem to remove any add-ons specifically but turns them off on more sensitive websites if Mozilla has not reviewed them.
It does look like there is an about:config option to turn it off, however it looks like this is most likely to be for bank websites etc. and only for add-ons not reviewed by Mozilla.
Currently, at least, ublock origin and most of the bigger adblock add-ons are reviewed by Mozilla and shouldn't be affected
Recommended addons are manually reviewed by Mozilla. They will not be affected.
