Activity Stream for Firefox is a collection of all the things you do in the browser that you care about display in a rich and meaningful way. We plan to display rich content with images from recent pages, screen shots, downloads, closing sessions, notifications, and  improve your results in the awesome bar.  Eventually we hope to be the central feed of the things you care about.

Activity Stream is also an umbrella term for anything that let's users interface with their activities in the browser.  This includes: Sync and Synced Tabs, history menu, awesome bar, tiles.  There's significant effort in improving these interfaces and deepening engagement with these tools for recovery and later, discovery.
