The major problem here is that they already somewhat revealed this "feature" but keep details hidden as if they were "top secret".

This will now get "shit talked" to the sky and beyond and all that Mozilla had to do to prevent this is adding one or two sentences why this feature is good for their users.

Yeah, this really needs to have

  1. A clear, user-visible list of which domains are quarantined
  2. A clear, user-visible explanation of why those domains are quarantined
  3. A way to say "Fine, but I want to allow this extension on this site" like the location and camera preferences, rather than simply turning the entire feature on and off.
