How do I control scripting (block or disable) coming from "Priviledged" pages like Support.mozilla.org?

When on the mozilla.org website I am unable to control the scripting or security because add-ons I use for protection cannot run on "priveledged" pages. How do I revoke the Priveledged status of pages like support.mozilla.org? I don't care if it can break Firefox, I want to see and be able to disable anything and/or everything regardless of whether I trust Mozilla or not (please don't respond with: you already trust Mozilla what's the big deal?) I control my experience online, the further you take that control from me the more apt I am to stop using your product.

Mozilla has protected certain Mozilla-operated websites from extensions that try to run content scripts on them. This list includes:

This is primarily for security and privacy reasons, like to prevent extensions from capturing login information or hijacking your browser by installing other extensions.

<strike>This cannot be bypassed since it's builtin to Firefox's code.</strike>

You can bypass this by editing the extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains preference on the about:config page, although you should do so with caution.
