Here are the new features and what I think needs to be created and updated (let me know if I missed something):
- Tab on demand - the preference to "don't load tabs until selected" during a session restore is now on by default.
- Smooth scrolling - this preference is now on by default.
- New Tab page - When you create a new tab you see thumbnails for your top sites. These can be customized or turned off.
- New article - "New Tab Page - show, hide and customize top sites" (this will get linked to in marketing about the feature)
- New default home page - the new default home page is styled differently and now contains icons at the bottom that link to: Downloads, Bookmarks, History, Add-ons, Sync, Settings, and Restore previous session.
- New article - "Firefox's default home page has quick links to common features" (this will get linked to in marketing about the feature)
- Template:adddevices - used in How do I add a device to Firefox Sync?, Use Sync to share your Firefox bookmarks, passwords and more with Firefox for mobile, How do I set up Sync on my computer? and How do I set up Sync on my computer?
- Reset Firefox - this first implementation is a button in about:support. It automatically creates a new profile and migrates over your bookmarks, history, passwords and form data.
- Rename Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings to "Reset Firefox – easily fix most Firefox problems" - new version of the article documents this feature. Note: this article was originally created as temporary solution while this feature was being worked on.
- Create a template or templates that mention that this feature can be used instead of troubleshooting steps. It can be included in these articles:
- Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data
- Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles
- <strike>Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles</strike>
