Android, current m-c with new UI, Nexus 7 2013.

We can see "Top Sites, Bookmarks, Reading List, History, Recent Tabs". There are actually even more categories (IIRC Reading List) but there is no visual indication that they are there, unless you already know of their existence.

As mentioned on IRC, it's Synced Tabs, not Reading List that's missing in the screenshot.

This is not part of the new tablet UI. I nom'd this bug to get discussion going.

In another bug I raised the suggestion that we could use an expanding floating action button to display a list of additional screens. I believe the suggestion at the time was to paper of the cracks by making the header scrollable.

Or go a quick return drop down like what Google+ has.
