The great thing about Firefox before the Photon addons apocalypse was that anyone could theme the browser in whatever way they wanted. Sure, it's still possible, but userChrome is a messy hack that Mozilla are trying to get rid of any moment now.

Soon, we'll be stuck dealing with whatever UI Mozilla feels like implementing for the current week. Thanks for your efforts for now at least.

I'm fond of that capability as well. Still it was good to restrict things for security and support reasons. Preserving the integrity of the line of death is hard enough without arbitrary UI changes and interactions among X different add-ons.
