Priority Level Description
This is a product request, but I'm concerned about the likelihood of use. Putting in as a placeholder for now.

Closing this as we will not get to it unless it is prioritized highly against one of our core focus areas (push, pull, revenue).
If you thin I made a mistake please reach out and let's align with the relevant PM.

Given the heavy machinery probably exists already in Firefox, my guess is that this is only the matter of glueing some UI to the machinery. In that case if this is something that we'd want even if it's not high priority, we could make this a mentored bug, along with a few explanations on how to do this? What do you think?
