== What is Firefox CloudAccount? ==Firefox Cloud Account is a new set of browser features that will allow you to quickly and easily access your full and personalized Firefox experience wherever you are, whether you're using your phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, gaming console, or television, whether you're sharing a device with your friends and neighbours, or whether you're using a public computer in a library or internet cafe.
=== How is this related to Next-gen Sync? ===
We've been talking about a set of features around this general idea for a long time, loosely referring to them collectively as "next-gen sync". While Firefox Sync is the technological infrastructure we're planning to use to support these features, that name does not encompass the full vision of what we have in mind. For this reason, we feel that "Firefox CloudAccount" is a more appropriate project name at this time.
'''Please note:''' ''"Firefox CloudAccount" is currently just a project name -- it could change at any time, and should not be considered a final shipping or brand name in any way.''
== Why do we want it? ==
In all of these situations, we believe that users' lives on the web would be vastly improved if their Firefox experience were portable and ubiquitous, if they could have their data and passwords and history instantly accessible no matter where they are or how they're accessing the web.
This is what Firefox Cloud Account wants to make possible -- to give users safe, secure, and ubiqitous access to their full and personalized Firefox experience on any device, in any location.

=== Firefox CloudAccount: Backlog & Ideas ===Potential future Firefox Cloud Account feature ideas...* Wrapping Firefox Cloud Account data with an API and make that accessible to other apps, sites, and browsers.* Make the Firefox Cloud Account data blob extensible (perhaps obviously).
* Sync about:home tabs & pins (how does that work with different form factors, etc?)
* Search continuation (send tab?)
