1201263 - Allow customization of the order of which I see my home panels in

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for iOS :: General, defect)

Description

[Stephan Leroux [:sleroux]]

As part of implementing addons, we need to be able to configure and customize the ordering of which our home panels can be displayed in. This bug tracks implementing a settings screen that allows us to move around and change the order of the default home panels.

Hey guys,

As part of the getting a start on addon-able home panels, I implemented this feature that let's move around the ordering of home panels. Let me know what you think! Figured I would get this pushed up and in a good state for now.

So far, it looks good, but I'm not sure about the value proposition here (that I mentioned this morning) until we either 1) enable turning on/off the ui for  individual panels 2) allow for more than 5 panels. if we do, I had some older mocks for how the icons would balance. basically they would open up more so that the 5th icon would appear half on the viewport to give the user a hint that there's something there, and they would be able to swipe left for more.

Let's also disable page scrolling for this screen, it's weird to have the page scroll when you're trying to rearrange. 

I was unable to rearrange in iOS9, but it worked just fine in 8.4

f+ on dynamic panel loading. f- on customizing the panels at this stage.

I think we need to be closer to a final UX story around disabling and choosing defaults. Customizing and rearranging are in distant third and fourth place, IMO.
