Comment (by antonela):

 Replying to [comment:67 gk]:
 > Sounds good. We probably should grey out the security settings on the
 `about:preferences` page indicating additionally that the user is in
 custom mode until they restored reset they settings to one of the three
 defaults.

 Great. I'm using default Firefox Photon warnings and I made a quick
 prototype to see how it works. Grey out is a good option, not sure if
 strong enough, but the change is visible when users go back to a tab or
 open a new one. We have a redundant link to `about:preferences#security`.
 Not bad, tho.
