The Bookmarks Toolbar now shows by default in New Tab.

Mine is full of garbage, a result of having used Firefox for years and on different systems and locales. I have 2 or 3 copies of all Mozilla links in different languages, plus a bunch of stuff that Manjaro inserted.

I clicked the gear Icon on the New Tab page, bringing up its preferences dialog. I would expect to find the Bookmarks Toolbar toggle there ("Firefox Home Content"), but it isn't.

We discussed this in our standup and decided that we are not going to prioritize this as part of the Bookmarking changes (2h2020) work.

Since this isn't a regression, bug 727668 should be in the Depends On field instead. That's why Bugbug made the change.

Flags: needinfo?(gpascutto)

View -> Toolbars -> Bookmarks Toolbar has options for when the toolbar is shown or not.

To manage the bookmark toolbar behavior, alt-click on the URL toolbar and select Always / Only show on New Tab / Never.
