There's some confusion here that needs to be dispelled.
First, there's two categories of add-ons:
- add-ons that get audited by Mozilla
- add-ons that do not
The ones they audit enjoy Mozillas endorsement in the app store, and an exemption from the quarantined sites setting.
The quarantined sites setting only differentiates between the two categories. The audited apps are known to be non malicious, so they are exempt from the quarantined sites setting. The other add-ons are unknowns, and this sets a default access level.
The ability to granularly opt extensions in/out is being worked on, and will likely ship with 116, per the comment I linked:
