Add 'About Lightbeam' side panel

[biancadanforth]

We currently don't have any in-application information for users to learn more about Lightbeam, how data in the app is used, Mozilla's privacy policy, etc.

The legacy Lightbeam had a side panel slide out from the right when the user clicked an info icon on the top right corner of the screen.

Hi @maqboolkhan so the code of the previous add-on is available: https://github.com/mozilla/lightbeam

We essentially want to reimplement that code here and the interactive nature of opening and hiding the panel.

I'm not sure where that code is at the moment within the other repo however it should be easy enough to search for "About Lightbeam" and work through the code there.

Let me know if you need more info about where to look. I should have more time over the weekend to answer questions on any of the bugs you might be interested in.

Thanks @jonathanKingston this should be easy for me and because of your comment i found "About Lightbeam" but one thing is i installed Lightbeam from Addon store but i am unable to find this About Lightbeam section ?? or i guess that repo is no more in use?

@maqboolkhan The old Lightbeam version has been replaced with the new one (the one pointing to this repo) in the Addon store. So the 'About Lightbeam' section won't be seen there because we have not implemented it.

As per @jonathanKingston 's suggestions, you could look up for the code, styles and text from the old repo - https://github.com/mozilla/lightbeam. Hope this helps.
