Certain Firefox users may come across a message in the extensions panel indicating that their add-ons are not allowed on the site currently open. We have introduced a new back-end feature to only allow some extensions monitored by Mozilla to run on specific websites for various reasons, including security concerns.

What is this bullshit? Feel like this will lead to adblocks being blocked for certain websites under the guise of "security", aka: we don't have to justify shit to you.

For how long are they gonna allow us to do that?

I don't know. Though, to my mind, Firefox has been all about tight defaults for everyone paired with a not-so-obvious opt-out for those who really need it.

That said I do understand the concern here. The page about quarantined domains doesn't provide much details and it's quite vague.
