== Enhancing the "Places" window ==
This mock-up of the places window has several change over the current view.

On the left, the hierarchy has been removed. The hierarchy here causes visual clutter, but more importatly, it is confusing. The view of one's bookmarks hierearchy without the actual bookmarks can be surprising and cause one to wonder where the bookmarks went.
Removing the hierarchy also gives us more flexibility. In this view, the main "fixed" items at the top have been given very large icons. The user-specified items and folders are shown in small icons below. This also reinforces the currently mysterious separation between the items the user can edit and those that they cannot.
The history view in this mockup uses the view of history you can see by reading [http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.apps.firefox/browse_thread/thread/77b65fc04f264c29 this newsgroup post].
The view shows a list of days in the middle column. A visual representation of the browsing per time is shown in green (this example only has a small bump). This allows the user to easily select different days to view history, without having a calendar which confused people before.
== The bookmark "inbox" ==
