Waterfox look and feel customizations and container enhancements? #150

These shouldn't degrade performance and does wonders for the theme, such as removing the ugly sidebar headers

Waterfox also has a feature where one of the containers you can open tabs in is "Private", which behaves like incognito except extensions can run. I wonder if there's a config for that?

This can be done with the firefox Multi-account containers plug in.

this in userChrome.css will remove sidebar hearders: 

/* remove the sidebar header */
#sidebar-header {
  display: none;
}

and since the right click menu is now hidden, you can change the location of the sidebar (left/right) by editing this value in about:config (true for left, false for right)

sidebar.position_start

Also the aim of this firefox fork is not to please every customization-loving firefox user or have a bunch of bloated features. I think the readme and website makes it pretty clear that the priorities of the developers are in security and performance, not UI enhancements. If you're interested in easier access to those, try out Floorp or Waterfox.

Thanks!

I know, but I didn't think adding a preferences panel and toggleable list of common chroming snippets is going to cause much performance deficit, and this would be a huge usability benefit. But hey, you're the advanced C++ developer!
