      I went for it and noticed it had the Reset button available, clicking which it switched to “false”. I am on Zen Browser and I never turned anything like that on.

      Any idea why it appeared like that?

    I also see an extensions.ml.enable. Anyone with actual knowledge of the source code know what those are doing?

      That’s basically what librewolf, waterfox, and a whole bunch of others are. In the same way manjaro and endeavor etc. are opinionated arch installs with spackling, those browsers are opinionated settings-already-selected versions of firefox.
