this needs a tracking issue in fxa-content-server

Current behaviour is that the "Show" button fades to grey, but retains the word "Show".  We'll need :rfeeley to decide on triage for a behaviour change here, whether we should open an issue on content-server or just leave it be.

"Hide" as a word is a different length in other languages and would be jarring. The few users that use this feature as it is designed do not appear to have issues.

That said I do think a checkbox like this is more obvious, but it was deemed unworthy of an experiment.
