Firefox Accounts on FirefoxOS

Project Overview:

  • We are integrating Firefox Accounts into FirefoxOS. Users will be able to sign into FirefoxOS during first time setup, or whenever they run an application that uses Firefox Accounts. For 1.4 this will mean a single sign in for Marketplace and Where'sMyFox. In the future, this same account will support Sync and new services built by Mozilla or our community.

Current Activities:

  • Demo: Basic FxA sign up flow in FxOS :: http://vimeo.com/79618371
  • Engineering milestone [9 December] working build, on trunk m-c and gaia master:
    • 18 November: FxA signup works [in m-c patches and branch]
    • Ongoing: patch reviews

Firefox Accounts (FxA) has other initiatives in progress that include: FxA Service, Sync.next for Android and Desktop, and FxA on the Web. Further information can be found on our Firefox Account wiki: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Identity/FirefoxAccounts

Sync.Next (formerly known as PiCL)

Project Overview:

  • Sync.Next includes two major efforts: Firefox Accounts on Desktop and Android, and a simplified Sync
  • Firefox Accounts are a safe and easy way to connect with Mozilla and non-Mozilla services across all of your devices -- laptop, phone, desktop or tablet -- so you have access to the services and data you need, whenever you need them, from wherever you are.
  • One of the first services built on Firefox Accounts will be Sync. Logging into Firefox with your Firefox Account gives you access to all of your open tabs, awesome bar, and bookmarks.
