Details

This issue is a follow up for Bug 1487297: once the extensions are going to be able to control the content blocking settings (e.g. if the slow trackers should be blocked or not), the user should be able to see the name of the extension controlling it and be provided an option to disable the extension, near to where the feature is configurable by the user (e.g. from the about:preferences page and the doorhanger UI).
Depends on: 1487297
Note that we currently do this for the TP subset of the content blocking settings (you can install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tracking-protection-toggle to test it out!)

The patch from bug 1487297 looks like it just manages the "Slow-Loading Trackers" setting. Is that true?

Yes that looks to me, but I didn't write the patch. I think Andrea is planning to update it...

Luca, is this bug still valid?

Looking to Bug 1487297 it looks like it may not be anymore, given that the feature it was meant to be controllable from extensions never landed and the bug closed, then it feels like this should also be wontfixed as well.

For surfacing in about:preferences extensions that may be controlling cookieBehaviors prefs we do have a separate bugzilla issue tracking it (Bug 1390160).
