TIL Deep within the firefox source tree, there is a binary file called adult_set.bin, it's a set of md5 hashes for "adult sites"

https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/source/third_party/application-services/components/filter_adult/src/adult_set.bin

Most of these were previously stored in the firefox source code as base64'd hashes, and have been reverse engineered (https://gist.github.com/roycewilliams/04ed6eb9509b83ce4d85873861c7f7b4) (thanks for documenting that )

As far as I can tell, there is a single new entry in the list :

df26afcce27598ce38a4e4852cbb3380 (whose domain is documented here https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D15915)
