I'd really prefer it stay as an extension, honestly. The whole of the userbase does not need this and I hate software bloat.

Given the amount of malicious extensions that have slips through the cracks over the years, I'd rather it baked in. Something like that is very much inline with what Mozilla is all about in the end. Useful features that many would want isn't bloat.
