It was designed to match our old old toolbar theme, let's update it!

If we get some basic designs, I can mentor this bug. This is low priority, but I think it would be a really nice brand touch, especially since we ship about:firefox as a default bookmark, and link to it from settings.

Agree! Leaving NI on for now.

I did a quick pass using our current colors, styles, etc. I think this is a good place to start. This inherits a lot of styles from our other about pages as well to provide more consistency.

Notes: 
 - "What's new?" is a placeholder for a future idea, we can stick to "Release notes" for now
 - The app icon is used at the top so we can reuse that asset
 - The heart at the footer can be taken from our about:feedback page
Flags: needinfo?(alam)
Quick specs: (more to come later)
 - Blue area (link blue #0096DD) is 180px tall
 - Each list item is 70 px tall
 - List item labels are 24px from the left (#363B40, Clear sans regular, 16px)
 - 1px divider after each list item (#D7D9DB)

Hi, Anthony

Could you give me some feedback about this screenshot? 
Thanks

btw, a couple notes:
- Old page seems to have more detail about version number including build date, do we need to retain all information?
- update button is optional for it could be disabled at build time. However, I think we should just hide it.
- Some title changes in the list will touch the l10n area, so I prefer keep original string unless necessary.

Nice work Ray! this is looking really good. It's coming along well.

Some feedback:
 - Check for updates button: 
 -- the text is not vertically aligned. Can we center it in the button?
 - Build icon looks blurry - what size is this? it seems like it might be getting stretched too large.
 - The heart icon - it looks skewed. I just reused the asset from bug 1175375. Is that the one you're using too?
 - Pressed state - background should be #F5F5F5 when these list items are pressed.

Yes, you bring up a good point. I think that was left out of the design. So, I'll have a look at where we can add that back.

> - update button is optional for it could be disabled at build time. However,

The "check for updates" button? Yes, we can just hide it. Then, the "Firefox 99" and the build icon will need to remain centered. I'll attach a screenshot.

Ok, that's a fair point. I added the "Brought to you by the people of Mozilla" at the footer though, so we might need to remove that.

thanks Ray!

Thank you Anthony.

I've update the patch.

- The text in check for updates button is set to vertical center. However, the last char of "Check for Updates »" looks little lower than average.
- The size of icon is 64 * 64px took from "branding/[release branch]/content/favicon64.png", and set as 64 * 64px. It looks like the images had been lossy compressed. (to reduce size?)
- heart icon is set to original aspect ratio now.
- new rules for pressed on list are added.

A new screenshot will be attached later, I'm on tweaking some details.

per comment 12

The icon size used in last screenshot is 384x384 from https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/branding/official/content/about-logo%402x.png
No blur but could gain 79kb to the package size.

remove the text and make the heart icon be centered in the bottom.

Firefox for Android is not a good place to look for contributor bugs. It is in maintenance mode where only critical fixes are being done. If you are interested in helping out with Android issues have a look at Firefox Preview (Fenix) https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/labels/good%20first%20issue
