1260449 - Set a home page

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for iOS :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Karen Rudnitski [:kar]]

 **Relevant Bugs:**

- []

**Requirements:**

- Be able to set a home page akin to setting a home page on desktop
- Provide an 'unconnected' state if the user has lost Internet connectivity (and/or display an appropriate error page)
- Ensure the home page URL can be modified by the user at any time
- Easily trigger the home page without cluttering up the existing chrome / UX
- There is no link (no 'in sync' requirement) between Firefox desktop home page and Firefox for Android (or iOS) home page.

**User Stories:**

- As a user, I want to set a home page URL so I can start browsing using my preferred home page.
- As a user, I want to be able to edit my home page URL at any time.
- As a partner, I want to be able to set the home page URL.
- As a user, I want my chosen home page to display upon browser start-up.
- As a user, I want the ability to choose to go to my home page whenever I open a new tab.

**Acceptance Criteria:**

- The home page URL is editable by the user
- Both the home page 'action' and the ability to interact with home panels live harmoniously

**Additional Info:**

- This feature is also being explored for implementation on Android

Robin! When you have a minute, please may I have a private browsing version of the Home button? Also, should I be re-using these menu icons as toolbar icons too?
