Compromise: Develop it as a Plugin and then install it by default. That way people who don’t want the feature can easily remove it completely. That approach would likely also reduce the number of Firefox forks whose sole purpose is to remove the new features some consider bloat.

That’s actually what Firefox usually did for these kind of features. They’re usually delayed as system add-ons.
Or make it so that people have a choice to add some of the extension features when installing the browser. Debloating is not fun
Most people don’t want a 45th prompt when they just want to install firefox to check facebook and their mail
Sometimes it feels like debloating is a hobby to people with little to show for it
True, also wouldn’t be too much work. Just some additional dialogues on first start up asking you which plugins you’d like installed
Good solution, perhaps two simple options at browser install: Default / Custom. That way you don’t have to uninstall all the stuff at the end.
