Details

Right now, persistent storage for the isEnabled/isCollapsed state of our sections is implemented with a combination of of different prefs for each section. While this works OK for built-in sections, it's not a scalable solution for supporting Web Extension sections (being implemented in Bug 1401194). We could implement persistence here with either using a single pref to store confguration, or preferably, with IndexedDB via IndexedDB.jsm.

This depended on bug 1438368 to land IndexedDB.jsm into a-s.

We're going to go forward with just having section collapse pref stored in indexedDB. There won't be an option to hide it (similar to the built in sections). Instead in the context menu will take you to the addon configuration page where you would just disable the addon if you wish to completely hide it. Closing this as fixed since it was a meta to track the progress for webextensions and all dependents have been closed.
