Firefox/Activity Stream
Get Activity Stream!
Overview
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.

As part of the overall content model improvements, the first initiative focuses on "saving" and "revisiting": ([[2]])
- [in plan] Removing Reading List (RL) Panel: In order to consolidate and simplify our panel management, we will clear away the Reading List panel, and turn existing RL items into Bookmarks. A smart folder will reside in the Bookmarks Panel to identify saved Reader View items. All Reader View items will now be synced now.
- [in plan] Enable folder management; Add/Remove/Rename bookmarks folder
- [in plan] Add more content to save (offline), e.g. save as PDF, screenshot etc
Initiatives in Aha - Offline experience - Improved Content Management
