 "So below are the two options that make sense to me. Hopefully one of
 those two options is consistent with general behaviour throughout Sugar.
 Hopefully it all makes sense to you guys as well.
 Option 1: The star on the main browse nav should just open and close the
 favourites tray, and add/remove favourite functionality should be present
 in that tray. It could be that there's always an extra icon present to the
 right of the favourites list that is just a box with + in it. Removing
 favourites would be via right click or long press, as it is currently. We
 would also remove the favourite tray icon that sits under the eye
 icon/menu.
 Option 2: The star should be used to add the current site as a favourite,
 and signify that the current site is a favourite through a change in
 colour when you're on that site. Similar to the Chrome favourite star in
 its address bar. Favouriting a site would still bring up the tray to
 visually confirm that it was added and so you can see where it's placed in
 your list, removing it would probably do the same thing to maintain
 consistency. If done this way, the tray would require an X in its top
 right for closing it. You would also press the star to remove the
 favourite.

 In my opinion, the first option is the most straightforward and easily
 understood - although the second one could probably be made a little more
 elegant. Let me know if you want pictures, and I will illustrate what I'm
 talking about. What do you think?

 Just by the way, Option 1 means we don't need to add an X for closing into
 the favourite tray - which I imagine would get in the way when the number
 of favourites you have exceeds the horizontal length of the screen, as the
 buttons for moving between them at that point fills the entire vertical
 space of the tray."

 I think option 2 is better, but we need think if we can add a "close"
 button in the Tray (can be more immediate/obvious than go to the view
 toolbar and use the view/hide tray button)
