What are the domains, and how do you find them? Can I use a wildcard like *.mozilla.net and still firefox/thunderbird works?
Thanks!

Most of the telemetry can be disabled in the Firefox settings. Some of the web services depend on some Mozilla domains so blocking all Mozilla domains will probably break a few things here and there?
Other than that, with the current situation, I would already think to switch to a Firefox fork or other alternative.
Firefox is walking a very dark path right now and you can see/feel how they are slowly rolling the enshitification path :/
Firefox automatically updates to install new privacy-abusing features like this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40974112. So getting all the settings right once isn’t enough—you need to be constantly vigilant.
Like you said, a fork is a much better option, since they take care of stripping out the user-hostile nonsense for you. I like Librewolf.
