1127653 - show homescreen bookmarks as separate entries in app switcher

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Ben Kelly [:bkelly, not reviewing]]

When a page is bookmarked to the homescreen, that typically means the users wants to use it like an app.  It would be nice to show tabs launched from these bookmarks as separate entries in the app switcher.  This would make them feel more app-like.

We could do this with Android 5.0, but I don't think we have a way to do this on older versions of Android. See bug 1098543.
