This idea was mentioned and dismissed in bug 905262, but the mockups in bug 958891 include text that looks like a link. In order to do that, we'll need to add support for it.

I thought it would be easy to do this using Html.fromHtml, but it looks like TextView.setText doesn't accept HTML-style formatting: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#setText%28java.lang.CharSequence%29 In order to do what we want for bug 958891 (adding a link), we may need to do something like what we do for doorhangers: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/base/widget/DoorHanger.java#170 However, this would involve changing the Home.banner API to specify some link text or something, since this would have to happen in Java.

Doh, my testcase was just bad. This actually was easy to implement.
