All the sites I use are conveniently bookmarked in the "Bookmarks Toolbar" of Firefox for windows.

The conveniently sync with Firefox for Android but it takes a minimum of 3 accurate presses to get to the bookmarks toolbar and then I must scroll though all the folders to get to the sites that are easily accessible in the Bookmarks Toolbar of Firefox for Windows.

In short, I just don't bother to do it and I am not maintaining 2 bookmark lists.

I understand why you force us to use the "awesome" bar by default when Firefox for Android starts. You have future plans for it and want to train users to go there. I don't want to be trained and you are close to losing my support of myself and perhaps many.

We should have the option to have FF for Android open directly so the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and it should take one press or less to get the the same sites I see in FF for Windows.
