TIL Firefox slipped in a feature to disable your privacy & security extensions on a list of sites Mozilla controls through some undocumented process: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/q

It can (and absolutely should) be disabled, but I'm quite concerned that there's no info on where the default list of sites (a bunch of Brazilian banks?) comes from and how they inject it to the browser. New hidden phone-home shit?

Discovering this stuff while setting up new laptop. More fun: when I migrated over manually curated initial prefs.js, somehow AMO "Add to Firefox" button is broken. 😈 But right clicking it to get the extension still works. No idea how I did this, but getting rid of AMO's backdoor into browser was something I always wanted to do and I think I did it. 😂
