Can I place all Home Panel buttons (Sync, History, Bookmarks, Reading List e.t.c.) next to each other so I don't have to scroll right and left?

The problem with the existing Home panel design is that Reading List, Bookmarks, Synced Tabs, History and all other panels/button are on a different page. This means the user has to scroll 5 times to get to something. Why not just put those buttons next to each other so the user can tap to open them quickly?

Before: Scroll 5 times to go from the default panel to History panel. Scroll 5 times back to get to another panel.

After: Touch the History button on panel to open History. Touch another panel to open that panel.

Before: Scroll right and left and accidentally tap on a link instead of scrolling the page. Happens dozens of times every day. Very annoying...

After: Tap on the desired panel button on top, and complete the desired action without accidents.

Before: Scroll right and left to find the desired panel, accidentally tap and hold on a URL(instead of scrolling) and touch Delete (instead of touching outside of the popup box to close it). Now the URL is gone.

After: Touch the panel button on top to open the panel, instead of scrolling.

Conclusion : I'm aware that it's possible to scroll without touching links by scrolling from the panel itself, but even then, I end up opening the top URLs. It's an annoying issue that makes Firefox not so user friendly on a 5.5" phone, even with large hands.


Is it currently possible to do this ? Thank you.
