I could not find any articles with further information on the topic.

There seems to be a fork with tracking removed, but it only has about 2000 downloads, so proceed with caution.

I am unable to access the original post.

If I remember right, there was no source code for this version of the extension, which violates Mozilla's terms already.

The original post was removed by AutoMod for some reason, I've already contacted a mod from the community to hopefully get the post un-removed.

EDIT: Post was not un-removed, but I was allowed to repost as URL post with image in body; edited the cross-post URL.

affiliate manipulation

Does this mean cookie stuffing?

I couldn't find further info on it yet, but I think it's very likely.
