P5 is "WONTFIX but we'll take a patch". I believe we actually intend to work on this :)

As a note on this: something that has come up with Tor Browser and FPI mode in FF before is cookie manager extensions and the cookie UI in FF not working as intended because they don't take into account the FPI Origin Attribute.  If we want to consider that it might fall into this metabug.

I think there is nothing more to do here: WebExtensions are currently able to change cookieBehavior pref and to enable/disable tracking protection. They are also able to set cookie permission per website. These are the only 3 settings we use for content blocking.

Wrong bug?  :-)

We've already been using this bug to track anti-tracking features other than cookie restrictions, let's make that explicit.
