 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1453988 raised awareness for
 a new mechanism to regulate webextension interference with priviledged
 Mozilla sites. We need to clear the whitelist that got implemented in
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1415644.
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1453988#c0 gives a good
 introduction about the trade-offs involved and we might think about a
 better solution while preparing our switch to ESR60 (or do so in a follow-
 up bug).

 One idea tjr had was to get a patch developed to make an exemption to that
 whitelist for Mozilla-signed extensions. We could then piggyback on that
 by signing all the extensions we ship which we thought about doing anyway.
