They're mostly synonyms, yes. But here is how these strings are used in the en-US product: contentBlocking.toggle.enable.tooltip and contentBlocking.toggle.disable.tooltip are used as the tooltips of the toggle checkbox for Content Blocking in the main application menu. Note that in the Control Centre (accessible from the site identity dialog) we use "Enable" and "Disable" to refer to the buttons in the UI that allow the user to enable or disable Content Blocking for the current website they are viewing. Those buttons are intended to be used by the user in case Content Blocking is causing something on the website to break.
