Is Mozilla ever going to update this page?

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/

It still shows the VDH from a year ago. Fortunately, we have this:

https://www.downloadhelper.net/firefox/betas

Unless I am mistaken, VDH 7.6.3a6 beta is what Michel tried to release as the general
availability public VDH 7.6.3. But Mozilla is getting in the way. What objections are
they raising? How long has it been now? A month? I recommend always having the latest
public release up on our beta page just as a backup facility since Mozilla is such a
bunch of . . . OK. I'll try to be polite even when they don't deserve it.

In case anybody is wondering, I did not pick those URLs out of thin air (or a region of
my anatomy where the sun don't shine). Take a look over here:

https://groups.google.com/g/video-downloadhelper-q-and-a/c/BzPLK2YyL-s

Do a search for "various pieces" within the text of that web page. That will reposition
the page to a reference that contains a link. Read that carefully. It is something
everybody should know.

You are right, VDH 7.6.3 has been waiting in the Firefox review queue since October 7th. It's an unusually long delay for a review, at least for a recommended add-on one, but it's hard to put pressure on volunteer work (reviewers are not paid by Mozilla). I'll trigger my contacts there if there is no progress in the next couple of weeks.
