I remembered reading something about this, and it looks like it's a security feature[0].

Yeah, it's to prevent click-hijacking (correct term?). I assassed the risk as very minimal.

Click-jacking seems like the correct term. Not sure what the word would be for the keyboard type of click-jacking though, where you unexpectedly present a dialog while the user is typing and they accidentally accept it by pressing certain characters...
Usually click hijacking is contracted to clickjacking, but you're correct.
those first four are things that i didn't even realize bother me but i feel like it'll be a massive QoL improvement to have them turned off. thank you!
> auto highlight selection addon
Can you provide a link to this addon. Couldn't find it.

I use "HighlightAll by Jerome Goudey". If you use this, you might have to tweak your addon preferences. I have set "Always enabled", "Native Highlighting" (without whitespace) and a minimum number of characters of 2. Nothing else is selected for me.
1. disable Fullscreen "XY is now Fullscreen" text. Set full-screen-api.warning.timeout to 0 2. disable Alt key: set ui.key.menuAccessKeyFocuses to false 3. don't select space after double clicking a word (together with auto highlight selection addon very nice for skimming code in browser like GH): set layout.word_select.eat_space_to_next_word to false 4. reduce forced wait when downloading a file (Download button in small FF-modal takes time to enable/activate, hard to explain, but annoying) : set security.dialog_enable_delay to 300ms 5. disable "This Connection is not Secure" Warning in (for pages like fritz.box together with XCkeepass very annoying) security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled
