Currently, we have some Gecko specific editing UI:
- Resizers to resize <img>s, <table>s, absolutely positioned elements.
- Inline-table-editing UI to add/remove rows/columns.
- Grabber to move absolutely positioned element.

They are now disabled by default in Nightly and early-Beta. Starting from 64, I'd like to disable them by default even on release channel.

Note that the other browsers do not have those UIs and web apps can enable them with document.execCommand() anyway. Those UI usage is enough low according to the telemetry, but a few users use them aggressively (see bug 1452538 comment 19).

This is a request from W3C Editing API WG.

They are now disabled by default in Nightly and early-Beta. Starting from 64,
this patch makes them disabled by default even on release channel.

Note that the other browsers do not have those UIs and web apps can enable
them with document.execCommand() on Gecko anyway. Those UI usage is enough
low according to the telemetry, but a few users use them aggressively (see
bug 1452538 comment 19).
