1208409 - Remove 'Firefox Marketplace' from the list of default bookmarks

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Karen Rudnitski [:kar]]

Please remove the Marketplace bookmarks from the default bookmark list. 

* No replacement bookmark / thumbnail is currently identified and should not block
* This will stop having an in-product pointer to the Firefox Marketplace. Although fennec users are going to the Marketplace in surprisingly ok numbers, there is single digit conversion for WebApps, likely due to lack of interesting content.

Let's do this as soon as possible, although there's no specific driver.
