Details

We expose some priviledged access to our alternative homepage/newtab in Fx China repack. For example, we expose the same entries to bookmarks/downloads/history etc. as the ones on about:home; We also expose the ability to detect whether Fx is default browser and set Fx as default browser if not; We also show the status of current Fx Account in our newtab page, like the footer of the menu panel.
Blocks: 1311472
We might also want to initialize a customized UITour from our own homepage/newtab.
