here's an article about the add-on: https://www.ghacks.net/2018/08/25/firefox-62-firefox-monitor...

They are missing the about:config setting.. but it's early. Might be a bug, or maybe its not being used(?)

Eventually it'll display a popup in the UI that will notify you if the website you're on has been breached. I think we can all agree that would be useful.

Edit: Here's the code for the add-on: https://github.com/mozilla/blurts-addon

So reading that ghacks article, it goes live to all EN-US users on the 25th Sept (my browser already has it), but we can't switch it off yet via: about:config?filter=extensions.fxmonitor.enabled

Pretty poor to roll it out without the option of disabling it, especially as I also ticked no tracking.

Sure, it's a useful feature, but my password manager (1Password) already does it. I'm OK with testing out this extension regardless, but wouldn't be if I wanted to limit my data use like the post's author.
