1879926 - Replace History component in sidebar

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Sidebar, task)

Description

[Sarah Clements [:sclements]]

We want to replace history in the sidebar with lit-based/firefox view components. This should be behind a pref defaulting to false visibility (to preserve existing behavior). This new component would be something like HistorySidebar extends MozLitElement, all start/stop functionality to add and remove listeners and observers can be in connected/disconnected callback.

For this stage we don't need to add the following yet (we'll wait on final specs and telemetry requirements from UX/product):

• no telemetry (just be sure we're not reporting any interactions to firefox view)
• keep elements as links with their default right-click menu
• don't implement the drop down panel list just yet (it is likely to change), default to showing history by date
• do add the search input at the top
• don't add tests yet
• moz-card might be an option instead of card-container
