This is a feature request to make the Promo Banner on Firefox for Android dynamic and adjustable. 

Currently, on the start-up page for Firefox for Android, we have a promotional graphic that up-sells the sync feature (see attached). If we could change this featuring to enable back-end changes to the messaging and the icon, we would be able to leverage an in-app communication method. Some of the things we could do are:
   -Promote new features
   -Engage with our users (Surveys, feedback solicitation, etc...)
   -Cross promote desktop
   -Feature add-ons

To make this work, we would need a server side capability to change the:
   -Link
   -Copy
   -Graphic
   -Background

It would also be ideal if we could run multiple promotions at the same time. This would help with A/B testing, as well as other things.

Yes, this was covered by bug 905262.

See this blog post for an example of how an add-on could use this banner API to dynamically pull content from a server:
