The current steps to make Fennec your default Android browser: 1. Open Fennec hamburger menu. 2. Tap Settings menu item. 3. Scroll to the bottom of the Settings menu list. 4. Tap "Make default browser" 5. Android will open the "Default apps" system settings menu. 6. Tap the "Browser app" menu item. 7. Tap the "Firefox" menu item. Fennec is now your default browser, but that's a lot of steps! TBD: * Can Fennec use some Android intent magic to open the "Browser app" system settings menu directly instead of the "Default apps" system settings menu? * Should we rename the "Make default browser" menu item to something friendlier like "Make Firefox your default browser"? * Can we move the "Make default" menu item to the top of the Settings menu list if Fennec is not currently the default browser? When Fennec _is_ the default browser, we can move the "Make default" menu item to the bottom of the Settings menu list.

When Fennec _is_ the default browser, we can move the "Make default" menu item to the bottom of the Settings menu list. If we can't dynamically reorder the Settings menu items, maybe we can just move the "Make default browser" menu item up a few entries (above "Clear private data" or "Advanced") so it is visible on screen without scrolling.

Moving the menu item would not require any localization, so it would be easy to uplift to 67 Beta.
