Anyone know what ScotchBonnet is? Something search-related it seems.

You can get some idea if you check the "depends on" stuff here.

Seems to be just a code name for some updates to the urlbar.

It's interesting they use code names but never really describe what the features should be. I think they're changing the UI of Incognito Mode too, or at least doing something labeled under "Felt Privacy."

I don't expect it to be user friendly, but surely there is a description of it around somewhere?

the only thing you need to see from the article:

the image shows firefox, and in it a question window of what kind of topics you want to see in your Pocket Recommendations.
The "Save" button is bright, the "Maybe later" is not, the "None" button is non-existent: it's not an option that you dont want to read pocket recommendations!

But at least the topics are curated by experts, so there's that.

Ironically, I don't always agree with the Mozilla brass, but when the CTO said

We consider modal consent dialogs to be a user-hostile distraction from better defaults.

... I kind of agree, in just this on instance. What a dialog to present.

Horray that is exactly what I asked for.

Seriously though they should go the minimalism route. I think that is part of the appeal of Chrome.
