Trello card is not very helpful in its current state: https://trello.com/c/VrvYnNpu/133-top-sites-as-a-user-i-want-to-manage-my-top-sites-items-so-i-have-control-over-what-is-being-shown

Currently we only have ability to "delete from history".

Bug 1314732 tracks work to allow renaming of items.

There is no way to set order of items, since the list is generated by a frecency algorithm. We could consider adding an additional "order" metadata parameter to support custom ordering in addition to frecency ordering, but that seems pretty messy and non-intuitive. Pinning is probably a better way to achieve a similar result.

Classic Top Sites allow pinning of items, Bug 1319274 and Bug 1314731 track that work.

We should consider removing Top Sites items separately from removing history.

Currently the only way to remove something from Top Sites is to remove a corresponding history item, which seems a bit drastic. As a user, I still want to see a particular page in my awesomebar results and in my history panel, but I might not want to see it show up in Top Sites.

We already have a bug to store metadata about a top site ("display name") - Bug 1314732, and highlights support a blocklist (Bug 1314718), giving us a couple of avenues to store this additional metadata.

Filed Bug 1320806 to explore this further.
All open Activity Stream bugs are moving from the whiteboard tag, "[mobileAS]", to the Firefox for Android component, "Activity Stream", so that I can keep better track of these bugs as the new triage owner; I will send out an email shortly with additional details, caveats, etc.

There's only one bug still open and we haven't been using the user story cards so I don't think this meta is very useful.
