Mobile/Archive/StartPage

Summary

Improve the usefulness of the start page.

Current Status

If Firefox Mobile opens in a new profile, we launch the about:firstrun page. Otherwise, we open with about:blank and show the awesomescreen.

We should add support for a true start page. Basic requirements are:

• Create an about:home with specialized content
• Provide a way in preferences to set the home page. Options include: None (use

awesomescreen), Default (use about:home) or Use the current page in the active browser.

Next Steps

• Design mockups (madhava)
