Same idea as bug 876712, but I didn't want to make the scope of that bug too big. Things to remove:

AboutHome
AboutHomeView
AboutHomeSection
AddonsSection
LastTabsSection
RemoteTabsSection
TopSitesView

And of course all the various layout files that go along with these.
This seems like a good starting point... I like r̶i̶p̶p̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶  simplifying code :-D

I don't think we want to be getting rid of all of this, since there are plans for a "Tabs from last time" section in the visited page:
https://bug862793.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=739728

Let's restrict this to just getting rid of the unused UI pieces of about:home. What we can do is make sure there's a bug filed to implement this new "Tabs from last time" section, and put a FIXME comment in here referencing that bug number.

I'm actually wondering if we might want to just update LastTabsSection to implement that new feature, so maybe we shouldn't get rid of that just yet either.

This string is unused now, but we can keep it around, since we'll probably need it for the new add-ons page.

The add-ons section in the new about:home also has a recommended add-ons section, so I guess it makes sense to keep recommended-addons.json around, too. I'm starting to think that it may make sense to keep this AddonsSection file around, since we'll want to use some of this logic for the new about:home (similarly to LastTabsSection).

AddonsSection Removal (v1)

Clearing review on these for now... Capella and I discussed on IRC that we should probably keep this code around for now until we're done porting things over into the new about:home pages.

We can revisit this bug when we get closer to merging back to m-c.

Ok Margaret where were we?

The first two chunks I originally pulled out were the LastTabsSection and the AddonsSection.

You were thinking since those were to be mostly re-used, we might want to leave those alone for now. 

(Alternatively we could rebase and remove those two sections, and let the next dev / implementer refer to these patches for the affected code while restoring just the pieces parts they need ... ?)

Staying with your thought, I'll skip that for now, and jump to re-basing the next patches after those two, removing the RemoteTabsSection, then TopSitesView, AboutHomeSection, and PromoBox and see what's left somewhere along at about that point.

Yes...?

Attached patch About:home Removal (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This kills anything about:home! We don't need PromoBox anymore. So, that's removed. The new design doesn't reflect any of that here.

I've retained the text used for apps and sync in PromoBox, just in case we re-use them. Other than that nothing else is used from that.

There are few resources still named/re-used as "abouthome_*". I'll rename them and post a new patch (may be in this bug itself).

Note: I've left abouthome_thumbnail be the same, as it makes more sense than home_thumbnail.

I see that we're using abouthome_thumbnail_add in TopBookmarksView. Maybe we should rename it something like top_bookmark_add. But that can be a follow-up (or go in your "rename stuff" patch).

We needed that code because we never updated about:home, whenever we showed it. Now that we kill about:home fragment and reload cursors when we switch to it, this is not needed.
I tried navigating to a page and clearing history, and back to about:home -- the page wasn't found.

I prefer keeping all "Widget" styles and "TextAppearance" styles closer. That way we can keep track of inconsistent ones easily.
The diff might be bigger, but the file size stays the same. ;)
Thanks for addressing my concerns about the clearHistory/statePurged issues. It's convenient that about:home isn't really a real page anymore.

If it's not too difficult for you, I feel like it makes more sense to just get rid of them in this patch, then you don't need to do any renaming in the next patch.
