I'd like to see a toggle/option under Settings -> Navigation that would enable a webOS-like behavior for the Home key.

Currently, the Home key brings you to the "Home" screen with a quick tap and to the "multi-tasking" screen with a long tap.

I'm more accustomed to the webOS behavior, which is simply the opposite of how FireFoxOS currently handles the quick/long tap.

I know I would greatly appreciate the behaviors being switched as I find I'm more often looking to multitask than I am looking to go "home". In this use case, I'm waiting longer to do what I want because I have to wait for the long press to register.
