We have custom reveal/conceal button on about:logins and we should figure it before we enable this pref.

Is there a way to opt-out of reveal button or receive a notification when reveal state changes?
I'd prefer a notification because we have some logic to replace password value with dummy ********.

There is not right now, but no reason there couldn't be (as long as it's chrome-only for now, as we probably don't want to expose such event to websites).

For reference, the relevant prefs here are (currently):

layout.forms.reveal-password-button.enabled
layout.forms.reveal-password-context-menu.enabled

(Both prefs default to false at the moment, per https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/b70bc09685763c44a8e56e4e04cb741fa020701a/modules/libpref/init/StaticPrefList.yaml#7869-7879 )
