Joe has never used Firefox or BrowserID before. He downloads it to check it out, and after browsing for a while he stumbles upon and decides to try the sync feature. Firefox prompts him for his email address and Joe types it in, at which point Firefox checks if he's a BrowserID user. Joe isn't, so Firefox prompts him to make a new account by typing and verifying a password. Since Joe has never set up sync before, there are a couple of extra steps he is automatically taken to next. Joe fills out a captcha, and given a chance to learn what is going to be synced. Finally, Joe is told that everything is ready to go, and than an email has been sent to the address he specified for verification. Once Joe has verified his email, he can connect any other device/browser simply by signing in with the same email+password. | Joe has never used Firefox or BrowserID before.
