Open issues/risks

• No module owner for distribution.js currently

Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

Multiple partners request changing the home page from about:home to a custom, non-Mozilla-hosted URL. In many cases these URLs would be very well served by being a default app tab, but there is no current way to add a default add via pref, and the apptab information is stored with session information.

Defining default apptabs is something that would serve our partners well, while still maintaining about:home as the user's primary launch point.
