You are quite unusual. More than 50% of our users don't use bookmarks at all, and the majority of the rest use only a handful. Making bookmarks super-prominent in the default UI would be doing those users (that is, the majority of our users) a disservice. Top Sites is a pretty good middle ground, particularly because you can pin whichever bookmarks you want to the six visible thumbnails. But, as mfinkle said, homepage tab customization will allow you to change which tabs you see. Note also that you can get to the home screen to pick a bookmark by opening a new tab (and if you like swiping to close the tab you were on), rather than tapping the URL bar. That'll stop the keyboard popping up. But if you *are* tapping the URL bar, I encourage you to type instead of navigating with taps. It's an Awesomebar, so just text-search for your bookmark! _______________________________________________ mobile-firefox-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mobile-firefox-dev
