Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 Another possibility that occurs to me is to hide the security slider when
 we are in custom mode. Show a message that says
 "Browser prefs have been changed to put Tor Browser in a nonstandard
 security setting. This is dangerous because it helps to distinguish you
 from other users."
 And then a button that shows "Reset to X security", where X is Low, Medium
 or High, depending on the current value of
 "extensions.torbutton.security_slider". Once that button is pressed, the
 security slider would re-appear in the correct setting.

 I'm interested to hear opinions!
