Allow removal of icons

[grahamperrin]

For use cases such as mine, most icons are a waste of space:

• no sense in forcing me to choose an icon for gjp4, and so on.

I want to remove all icons.

Other users might prefer to remove just some icons.

Realistically, it might be difficult (or impossible) to 'close' the space formerly occupied by an icon – see for example mozilla/multi-account-containers#771 (comment) – so I'll be happy with simple removal of icons.

(The dead space will be slightly wasteful, but not troublesome.)

I understand where you're coming from on this. I think the containers API actually requires an icon and color to be set, or else it refuses to create a container entirely. I have to confirm this, but if my suspicion is correct, then it's 100% impossible for me to do anything about it.

However, I could add a user preference to hide/show the icons in the Containers Helper addon popup window, that would be about as close as I could get to this. What do you think @grahamperrin?

Thanks,

… a user preference to hide/show the icons in the Containers Helper addon popup window, …

In that (rarely seen) context, icons don't bother me.

The near-omnipresent address bar context is where I'd like to be without icons.

In the absence of an API, this is probably cantfix.

Certainly, when I disposed of icons, it required manual edition of containers.js …

Gotcha. I agree with your assessment and will tag as cantfix and close.
