Passing on this feature request from someone who contacted me.

Expect the site to be pre-filled in the "Address of web site:" input.

The only concern I'd have is what the expected behavior would be if you switched tabs/windows. Do we change the entry in the input? Or do we keep it how it is? I'd say we keep it static, but it did cross my mind.

(Can't find a dupe, so filing as NEW.)
I believe I've seen this bug before too and even multiple times, but I can only find the related Bug 301120. 
This would also make sense for some other site-specific prefs that are currently treated as whitelists or blacklists, such as popup blocking and extension installation.
Bug 363929 looks like a duplicate.  Since this one has a better summary etc I would nominate that as a duplicate of this one, rather than vice versa.
