How is Mozilla choosing which search engines to show in their browser oppressing of free speech?
"Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech
Are they blocking users from going to those sites? No.
Are they preventing those sites from loading in the browser? No.
Are they stopping anyone from creating a website and saying whatever they want? No.
Just because you don't agree with Mozilla on this action doesn't make it oppression of free speech. This is simply one organization deciding not to have a relationship with another organization. Not everything is an attack on free speech or expression.

This is explicitly Mozilla retaliating against Yandex for things they've said.

This is disingenuous. They're very deliberately making it less convenient for users to access Yandex.

Because similar action wasn't taken against Google when US invaded so many countries!

In this case taking away choice from Russians not from organization. Of course they are going to use just website, but still there is clear signal to selectively support one side, even though action of other parties were equally bad. Why open source software is making decisions based on politics happening around.
