Detect when your installed Firefox addons have changed owners
I recognize that I may be contributing to your "addons have so much power" argument, but I wanted to draw your attention to ViolentMonkey <https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey#readme> which is stellar for these site-specific customizations (known as User Scripts, of which Greasemonkey was the most famous)

If your Firefox suddenly started to hang or become extremely slow today, check if you have tampermonkey 5.0. Disable it for now as it seems to be the culprit.
Since Tampermonkey seems to be misbehaving, consider using Violentmonkey.

How do I "install" user scripts downloaded from GitHub?
I personally use TamperMonkey to run user-scripts and can vouch for its usefulness. Violentmonkey seems to be a popular alternative.

Weird cookie behavior
Tampermonkey devs have implemented it but didn't release it yet and Violentmonkey devs don't want to implement it, so I guess I'm not fixing this issue anytime soon.
