Hey mobile-foxers,

I've just landed the last of a series of patches which bring some changes
to the mobile tabs tray.  These changes include:

   - 1161638: Remove the chrome at the bottom of the screen in the Tabs Tray
   - 1164723: Inherit from Tablet UI on Mobile UI (aka compact tabs)
   - 1193374: Remove tab panel preview dimension dependency from TopSites
   - 1193745: Implement the tablet tabs tray grid view on mobile

This brings about a unification of the visual styles for the tabs tray
between tablet and mobile and also gives us a lot of flexibility around how
tab previews are displayed, paving the way for some seriously funky UI
possibilities in the future.

I'm reaching out to you to keep an eye on the tabs tray look and feel over
the next few weeks so we can hammer out any possible issues with it before
it lands in Aurora (21st Sep).  Possible issues I'm looking for are tab
previews in the tabs tray looking too big or too small for a given screen
size and pixel density.  I've tested on all the devices I have at home (
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6c2twk2o08rscrs/AADeKQQLEOYeweOShTkkYbjQa?dl=0)
but there will probably be some device configs which I've not accounted
for.

If something does look wonky, please take screenshots in both landscape and
portrait and also send me a screenshot of this application
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sturnus.screeninfo&hl=en
making sure to scroll the app page down a little to include all of the
"Default Display Metrics" and "Default Display (Physical)" sections.
Create a bug assigned to me with all three of those images attached and
I'll check em out.

Going forwards we'll probably want to think of a way to automagically
determine the tab dimensions based on the device config at runtime by
implementing a RecyclerView instead of the fragile GridView we currently
have in place.  Patches welcome.

Cheers,

Martyn
