    • Add the custom "share" and "email me my browsing history" options, see designs: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Projects/Guest_browsing
• Finalized UI flows for selecting your preferred language for web content (Accept-language header customization) -- this is ready for implementation now.
  • Flows: https://bug881510.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=817865
• bug 927006 Adding a split action bar to our phone UI
• Thinking about a preliminary Kinderfox feature set
