So..what is the situation with Firewall book?

Firewall is in editorial/development right now.

Quote:

Are there more books coming, maybe campaign setting that expands time line further and develops world?

Every Eclipse Phase book develops the world, no? :-) The next hardcover after Firewall is the yet-untitled "Threats" book, dealing with X-Risks and all sorts of other transhumanity-damaging encounters.

I believe that TPTB have stated that there will be a moratorium on new morphs (a morphatorium???). Nevertheless, will the upcoming books still include new advantages, implants and gadgets?

The "morphatorium" is a bit tongue-in-cheek. As always, Eclipse Phase books will contain whatever rules material they need to properly represent the world. Also, will the Firewall book only contain Firewall info, or material on other groups that combat x-risks like Ozma and the security and intelligence services from polities like the Jovian Republic and Titanian Commonwealth? Firewall will have material about Ozma and some other organizations, yes!

I've always had the opposite view of Firewall, honestly. They're the only group who can consistently unite transhumans from disparate groups together to the common good, though that isn't the common "nice". Even OZMA, Oversight, the Medeans and the Titanian intelligence agencies are extensions of their own polities. Firewall is the only guys who can go anywhere and effectively do anything to prevent transhumanity from accidentally into 90% of us again. The harsh truth of the Fall is that blind pursuit of knowledge is dangerous, and you need to know what you're poking before you go poking it. But if you're careful, you can make something good. Firewall works with the Prometheans, after all, which is about as close as making a deal with the devil as you can get in EP without talking to an actual TITAN (which OZMA may or may not have) for most people, but in principle, the Prometheans are "friendly" Seed AI, a process which apparently runs counter to transhuman ideals. If what you're doing poses a significant, immediate X-risk (as presented by most of the Firewall involved pregen scenarios), Firewall will take some polite steps to figure out what exactly is going on and when they don't have time for that, or it fails, they send in Sentinels to figure out what's going on and probably blow some things up (The fact that Sentinels are Player Characters of course, often leads to chaos). If what you're doing doesn't pose significant, immediate X-risk (as calculated by the massive futurecasting minds of the Prometheans, who seem to like Transhumanity okay, for slightly alien God Machines) Firewall will leave somebody around to make sure you don't do something stupid in the pursuit of science or profit, and if what you're doing is beneficial to the effort, they might recruit you, though for you on an individual level, that might not be fun. So, Firewall isn't nice. They aren't the "Big Good". But they have the dirty job they have taken it upon themselves when no other group in Transhumanity seems to get it together to do, and most of them have volunteered to do it of their own free will. And since that goal of not doing or building something inadvisable enough to be able finally wipe us out is to the benefit of everyone, their methodology can be tempered with pragmatic need. When the possible fate of the last 10% of all transhumanity is on the line, purity of ideology can go fuck itself. That's my interpretation of the situation, anyway.
