1117921 - Expose relevant information in "open-in-background" queue

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Anthony Lam (:antlam) Find me, @antlam on Slack!]

Since we can't "load" in background, we need a way for the user to manage the list of links that they've queued when they launch Firefox (after they've opened links in background obviously). 

Whatever this list looks like, we need to see what information we can surface for the user to be able to recall what links they've actually queued. 

Off the top of my head, it'd be best to expose some key reminds of the link like:

 - URL
 - Page Title,
 - Favicon
 - Date/time it was added
 - Expanded URL (shortended links are rarely useful on their own)

It's likely that we can only rely on having the URL accessible to us at the time we grab the data, and we can store dat/time obviously.  We could do something like open an http connection and grab the web page in order to extract info from it - if we do that we can likely get the rest of the data needed.

We won't be implementing a list of tabs, but will file another bug for trying to get a fav icon from a page
