Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

Description

[:Grisha Kruglov]

We want to allow users to set a "display name" for Top Site items. This bug tracks work to store/retrieve this metadata.

All open Activity Stream bugs are moving from the whiteboard tag, "[mobileAS]", to the Firefox for Android component, "Activity Stream", so that I can keep better track of these bugs as the new triage owner; I will send out an email shortly with additional details, caveats, etc.

UX recommendations:

(In reply to :Grisha Kruglov from bug 1320804 comment #0)
> We need UX to allow setting and changing display name of Top Site items.
> 
> Currently, we have an "action menu", and this could be an item in that menu.
> Our action menu is the same for Top Sites, Highlights, etc., so we might
> want to consider only showing this "rename" or "set display name" item for
> Top Sites.
> 
> There are three states to consider:
> - no display name set, allow user to set one (default based on website
> metadata is used)
> - display name set, allow user to change it
> - display name set, allow user to remove it (reverting to a metadata default)
