We should also add a test for resetting a localized preference to its default value, checking that it will show an empty string or the localized default value, instead of the locale URL.

Attachment: Bug 1501410 - Part 2 - Add support for recovering deleted preferences. r=bgrins

This updates the user interface for adding new preferences to be closer to the mockup, and makes deleted preferences more similar to rows that are not added yet. This will later make it simpler to react to external changes in the underlying data.
