Initially, I would wait and see what Debian does. They might not package the browser with the same defaults as Mozilla.
I would also guess that there will be alternative packages for Firefox if there are enough people interested. Tor Browser is a example of Firefox being packaged using different defaults and plugins. In theory one could take Tor Browser, remove Tor, and have a hardenized version of Firefox with saner defaults.
Hey I made the same observation about Tor elsewhere in this thread. Great minds think alike (and get downvoted together).
