Description

See feedback at https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/how-to-disable-style-editor-horizontal-drag-to-amend-the-value/95814

The feature just reached release so let's see if we get a bit more similar feedback, but adding a pref or a toggle should be doable.

Some feedback when a similar feature landed in Chrome:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69719071/disabling-the-length-authoring-tools-css-unit-selector-in-chrome-devtools-in
• https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1259073
• https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1259088

I think that's enough indication that this should be optional. We can keep it default true for now, but let's add a toggle in the settings.

We should have a way to disable the feature. The RuleView will dynamically update whenever the preference is flipped
