Opening discussion for opening the bookmarks panel in the step when we talk about bookmarks. The argument here was that it's more consistent with other steps in the tour and the page looks less empty. But the problem is we can't predict what's in the users bookmarks menu, they might have way too many bookmarks and it won't look pretty. But we can implement and test.
This is already implemented in-product with showMenu("bookmarks"). Shall we close this bug as WORKSFORME or move it to blocking a webdev bug?

Awesome! We'll use it later but not for Aurora now. Can we leave this open for now and block a webdev bug just to keep track?

When the bookmark widget is in the panel menu AND the menu panel is open, the panel is opened instead of the subview showing. It would be nice if this was fixed in the bookmark widget so it did the right thing but I haven't looked into that.

What does the UITour code do to show the item?
https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/modules/UITour.jsm?rev=54d9feac4e7a&mark=703#694 We call showMenu(true) on the MenuBoxObject. I guess we may be able to just create click events instead.
