And various other suspicious things, and probably tracky things like the disqus forums.  stats.wired.com is at least same parent domain, so I guess makes sense Firefox would allow it.  Not the others though.

Just what does Firefox Tracking Protection block? It seems like not much?

Is there a process for submitting sites like these?

p.s. - that Wired tab (only tab I had open in a clean new profile of this nightly that was a couple of weeks old) crashed after a few minutes: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/824d506d-84c5-4b83-9edb-b99292160219

Disqus is part of the "strict" list:
