1226269 - User should be able to delete multiple Top Site tiles at once

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for iOS :: Home screen, defect)

Description

[Stephan Leroux [:sleroux]]

We have a bug open where deleting multiple tiles at the same time causes the app to crash: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1223124. The patch solution for that is to limit the deletion to a single tile at a time. This patch is to provide the user the ability to delete multiple tiles at the time and also potentially have deletions happen while cell animations are in progress.

Technically its pretty challenging to allow multi-touch deletion on the Top Sites panel. I have a WIP branch here https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-ios/pull/1283 but its buggy with duplicate tiles. To resolve the top crashing bug when two tiles are deleted at the same time, I force the user to only allow deleting one tile at a time. I think in general this is the right approach since when a user it trying to delete their tiles quickly and triggering the multi-delete they are probably trying to clear everything. In this case we should add a 'Clear All' button somewhere to allow users to do this. I'm going to close this as WONTFIX for now since I opened it as a response to the multi-delete bug.
