Steps to reproduce:

1.go to https://blocklists.settings.services.mozilla.com/v1/blocklist/3/%7Bec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384%7D/70.0.1/Firefox/20191030021342/WINNT_x86_64-msvc/en-US/release/Windows_NT%2010.0/default/default/14/17/1
2.you will see blocked e-mails are visible

Actual results:

i was pentestin some other websites with burp suite it alarmed me e-mail adresses disclose when i go to the https://blocklists.settings.services.mozilla.com/v1/blocklist/3/%7Bec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384%7D/70.0.1/Firefox/20191030021342/WINNT_x86_64-msvc/en-US/release/Windows_NT%2010.0/default/default/14/17/1 i see some blocked list

Expected results:

e-mail adresses shouldn't be visible for regular users.

That appears to be derived from this file, and I expect it is intentional that it is publicly visible:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/app/blocklist.xml
It is related to the block listing of addons in Firefox.

Thank you for taking the time to report your concerns. We do appreciate it! In this case there is no private information being leaked: these aren't emails, these are extension IDs. Extension IDs are sometimes formatted as emails because they're easier to work with in that form than a string of random hex digits. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/browser_specific_settings#Extension_ID_format
