I wish I could have extensions default to off and be able to turn them on selectively on sites. For things like darkreader I don't want to use it 90% of the time so it shouldn't need to have at access to site data.
By the way, I don't like the title of this article, how is it done "remotely", it's just a list in about:config, no? Sounds clickbaity.
Most people leave those settings alone. If you've never changed the value, whenever Mozilla change the default, you'll be updated to the new default when you update your browser. That's a remote change to which websites remain unaffected by extensions, except for the minority of users who've done something about it.
extensions are already disabled on Firefox help website. No dark reader will work there. They probably extended that capability into an actual backdoor.
Last time I checked companies don't share backdoors they've added in release notes.
