Make the warning of about:config not skippable

We think we could force release users to always see the about:config warning, to remind that it can be dangerous.

We thought of:

  • always show the warning (by locking browser.aboutConfig.showWarning = true)
  • remove the warning checkbox
  • spruce up about:config interstitial (FF example below)
    • use TB colors?
    • change warning to at least mention fingerprinting (and drop performance to keep it short)
    • maybe a learn more to the about:manual entry
    • we need some RED somewhere ... RED WINDOW OF DEATH sounds good
