Yes, this is due to the inbuilt add-on "Reveal hidden HTML elements" as 
Narcis pointed out. Just disable it from the Addon Manager or from 
about:config and you'll get rid or this annoying shit.

It is attached.

It is about the semi-transparant buttons at the top.  «Click to reveal
hidden elements/remove buttons» are removed by disabling the «Reveal
hidden HTML elements» extension.  The «Complain» is to complain to the
website owner about the non-free JavaScript.

When I click on «Click to reveal hidden elements/remove buttons», they
go away on that page.  I don't understand the function.

I will propose something about enabling/disabling some extensions by
default, in a proper bug report.

When I click the first button, it disappears but keeps on appearing on

I don't know what it means.  Could it be removed from the default
IceCat installation, or is it something (freedom) essential?

I am using IceCat 52.3.0 on GuixSD.

I now see it is the «Reveal hidden HTML elements» extension.  So I
disabled it, and the buttons are not displayed anymore.

I understand that you remove the extension when your local CUPS website
does not work.  However, I tested this on Parabola just now, and my
experience is that the CUPS website does not function properly (empty
help page for instance) because of the LibreJS plugin, not the «Reveal
hidden HTML elements» plugin.

Have been discussions already on what extensions to enable by default?
There would be friction between what is needed for privacy on the one
hand, and what is needed for the working of websites on the other hand.
Probably the web is too broken for those things to be reconcilable.

—Marco

P.S. Can anyone tell me if there is a relevant difference between the
terms «plugin», «add-on» and «extension»?  I can see the structure how
Firefox/IceCat uses them (plugins, extensions \in add-ons), but didn't
we use to call these things all plug-ins?  Maybe plugins are external
pieces of software, whereas extensions are using internal
Firefox/IceCat scripting.

I disable this plugin on all computers, because CUPS webpage
(localhost:631) doesn't work with it.
