Only after it caused a PR flap for them, though

Not really honestly. I think their concerns were valid until they investigated.
Everyone thinks it's easy to ignore legal demands. But there is a reason why most abuse isn't reported to police.
I believe their story honestly

Yeah that's a fair point, although it's still a bit… well, funny (not "funny ha ha") that they even temporarily blocked those extensions. Not sure what Roskomnadzor could have done if Mozilla had refused even a temporary block, at least assuming the foundation doesn't have any legal entities in Russia which they may well have

Even if there is no legal entities in Russia though, they might have remote workers

Weren't they afraid for their workers in the country ?
Taking time to assess the consequences before making a rash decision seems legit to me...
