Letterboxing background colour is no longer used
Upstream bug 1941635, which seems to be a confidential issue, moved
background: var(--tabpanel-background-color);
from #tabbrowser-tabpanels to .browserContainer, so our letterboxing override for #tabbrowser-tabpanels no longer has the intended effect.
It might make sense to instead adjust --tabpanel-background-color to be transparent instead of overriding the background property.
