 > > 5. If custom mode is triggered, it is a little confusing that there is
 no text in about:preferences to encourage the user to switch back to one
 of the default levels (new users may even think custom is a good thing).
 Also, there is nothing in about:preferences that associates the `Restore
 Defaults` button with fixing the "custom problem." Finally, we might want
 to hide the `Restore Defaults` button when it is not applicable instead of
 disabling it (I think users will wonder why it is disabled). These issues
 might be worth looking at in future iteration.

 doorhanger. I think we can easily add the `Restore defaults` blue primary
 link at the selected level in `about:preferences` too.

 Hey antonela, could you clarify how this should look?
