2750: stop hiding Storage Manager UI #379
pref will be removed, 99% sure it was just a pref used internally to hide it from stable during testing in beta/nightly - see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1428306. Makes zero sense to hide this new UI section since we will be turning SM on anyway (the section is important for end users to exist and be working esp thru QuotaManager and Storage v2 changes etc).

ghacks user.js

The ghacks user.js is a template, which, as provided, aims to provide as much privacy and enhanced security as possible, and to reduce tracking and fingerprinting as much as possible - while minimizing any loss of functionality and breakage (but it will happen).

Everyone, experts included, should at least read the implementation wiki page, as it contains important information regarding a few ghacks user.js settings.
