Just relabel bookmarks as tabs and there you go.
Its already treating them as bookmarks though.. I just wish mozilla would fix smaller things like giving a site storage size limit that actually worked and didn't just ignore it and also wouldn't churn disk as much for no reason at all.

Dreaming of getting 30% of photoshop sales prices instead of 20 bucks for the os messed up a lot of their strategy. Of course it was unrealistic from the start but led to win8 and winrt and everything after that.

To teach you don't need massive amounts of content, lessons don't need to be superfacially unique at all, they're scalable on their own.

Thats not entirely true. To update an old ios app to be uploadable into the store is significant amount of work due to apple themselves deprecating stuff and requiring you use a newer xcode. You can't just "update the api call" and expect it to be publishable.
