Attached patch Rough WIP patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This patch is rough, but it adds a History subview. It currently uses a <tree> for showing the history, but I think we'll want to change it to use richlistitems.

Also, both views (History and Bookmarks) are appearing when one of them is chosen. I looked at the panelUI.js code but didn't see anything out of the ordinary (selectedPanel is being set on the deck properly).
I looked into the misbehaving deck - it looks like the position: absolute; on #PanelUI-subViews is causing this. Removing that rule fixed the problem, and I don't believe position: absolute is actually necessary. Probably a leftover fragment from my experiments making the subview thing actually work.
Depends on: 856639
Attached patch Patch v.1 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This patch is pretty close, but it has a couple issues:
* The panel size is incorrect the first time the subview is shown (due to the async calls within onViewShowing)
* The favicon is not clickable
* Might switch from richlistbox/richlistitem to toolbarbuttons, if that is simpler and works better.

Attached patch Patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This handles all the previously mentioned issues.

One remaining issue is when the widget is dragged to the navbar, clicking on it is currently a no-op. Fixing this wasn't part of this patch because it involves much more work and might not be want we want to do anyways.

The tall-maker stuff is probably safe to revert. It's bogus anyway, and will likely go away - but let's just leave it the way it was for now.

At some point, I guess we're going to have to worry about translating these labels. But not right now.

I think at the very least this should Cu.reportError, instead of failing silently.

This should be lazy-loaded.

This function convinces me we need built-in widgets to be defined in a separate file (even if its just preprocessed in). Filed bug 860642.

Hm, think this exposed a bug in our panel resize code. For me, if I don't have many widgets in the panel, the panel doesn't resize to fit all the history items. But it does for the bookmarks subview, and then going back into the history subview the panel resizes to the size needed for the bookmarks subview. Filed bug 860646.

This isn't used anymore... but it needs to be (to enforce the size, and the default favicon - the rest probably isn't needed). Selector can just be changed to something like #PanelUI-historyItems > toolbarbutton > .toolbarbutton-icon

It takes care of a strict warning for a potentially unintended assignment.

Let's move this magic number up to a const at the top of this function.

Let's move this fragment assignment into the handleResult function - I don't think it's needed out here.
