[tor-talk] TBB Firefox 60.4 missing custom color widget?

I checked the latest *ESR* Firefox 60.4 & it ALSO doesn't have a "select 
/ create a CUSTOM color" widget or tool.  Haven't researched if leaving 
it out of ESR versions is intentional.  In regular Fx, this tool is 
still found under Preferences / General / Fonts & Colors / "Colors" 
button.  Click any of the 4 color samples (boxes) on the Fx Colors page, 
to popup the "custom color wheel."

It no longer has spaces to store custom colors in the same UI for 
creating custom colors.

If you need to save many custom colors for browser themes, web design, 
etc., AND save a color sample, it could be done in many word processors 
by adding a table, or in a spreadsheet.

In LibreOffice & OpenOffice, insert a table in a new document with at 
least 2 columns.
Create the custom color in regular Fx or apps / websites with custom 
color generators & copy the hex or RGB color code into the table.
For the color sample of each value, use the word processor or 
spreadsheet's *background color* option, for the cell beside the color 
code.

There should be a "select custom background color" option (tool), where 
a custom color value is entered & shows a small sample. Apply the custom 
BG color to the selected cell in the table or spreadsheet.

Here's an interesting "colors comparison site," that gives all sorts of 
data for using 2 colors, as in text on background.
