Yet another reason to use mullvad-browser instead of vanilla Firefox.

Removing user agency is a big deal, to do it silently is a massive red flag. Even if the intentions are good paternalistic behavior removes agency from users.

This does feel like something you should be able to toggle off. I can understand their security concerns, but I didn't switch to Firefox because I wanted less control/trust from my browser.

You can, set extensions.quarantinedDomains.enabled to false.
