Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Mozilla removed all "native" controls from Firefox since 117 due to the removal of Windows 7/8.x support but some themes/userstyles on Windows 10+ benefited from having those native controls.

As an example i compiled two screenshots: One from Firefox 115 ESR with native control patch and one from the latest version of Waterfox (As of me writing this issue) both having the theme Geckium installed.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be appreciated if re-implementing the native controls that were removed when waterfox switched from the 115ESR base to 128ESR base could be brought back as an optional feature.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There was a different Firefox fork that had this feature but it would be cool to have waterfox to have this feature as well. Also, some of the re-implementation of native controls was merged with pull request #3294 and then removed when switched to the ESR 128 base.

Additional context
As shown in the screenshots, Native controls would make it that certain themes that rely on native controls from 115 could be used on waterfox without compromises.
