Add option to disable the page action

[bepvte]

In the recent Photon UI update, the ability to hide the page actions in the URL bar or manage them was removed. Personally, I never use the page action button to make a site always open in a tab, and always do it from the extensions toolbar button. Because this button just gets in my way, and because it used to be able to be moved until recently, I think making it toggleable would be a good idea.

This is a really important missing feature and I was expecting a Mozilla add-on being up to date with their own changes. Anyway, would be nice if someone could review this one. It's not about being something critical to usability, but at least being more respectful to user choices, the address bar can get really cluttered with some extensions.

@dougwl https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/3764003/beps_multi_account_containers-7.3.1-fx.xpi heres the version with my changes that I've been using, if you would like. Because it's signed and installable, it has been checked for following the addon store policies set by mozilla.

~~https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/3852238/beps_multi_account_containers-7.4.1-fx.xpi updated with upstream changes~~ broken and idk why

@bepvte Thank you for that, probably for the near future this will be my solution.

#pageAction-urlbar-_testpilot-containers {
    display: none !important;

Closing as WONTFIX because pageAction (left one) will be removed in the newest version of WebExtension API called Manifest V3
