=== JS Client Library === Interaction with the Firefox Accounts provides authentication and OAuth APIs are is done via a Javascript client library for the Web that supports operations with Firefox Accounts. In addition to communicating with the Auth Serverbackend servers, it also performs local key stretching (PBKDF2 and scrypt) on the user's password before it's used in the API. It is hosted by the Content Server. This library was at one time called "Gherkin".
