* As a user, I want to be able to pick up any new device and replicate my core Firefox experience so I don't have repeat a bunch of work I've already done on another device. | ==== Core user stories ==== | ||
* '''AWESOMEBAR & HISTORY''' - As a user with several devices, I want my core Firefox experience to be available on all devices, so I don't have to spend a lot of time rebuilding my awesomebar experience or other personalizations on each. (Equal to whatever parity with current Sync is in terms of # of days of history.) | * As a user, I want to be able to pick up any new device and replicate my core Firefox experience so I don't have repeat a bunch of work I've already done on another device. | ||
* '''PASSWORDS''' - As a user, if I have typed in and stored a password in Firefox on one device, I don't want to have to type and store that password again on any of my other devices so my web accounts & passwords are magically available on all of my devices (especially important so I don't make typing mistakes on my mobile and become frustrated!). | * '''AWESOMEBAR & HISTORY''' - As a user with several devices, I want my core Firefox experience to be available on all devices, so I don't have to spend a lot of time rebuilding my awesomebar experience or other personalizations on each.

* '''OPEN TABS''' - As a user, I want the option of syncing my tabs from other devices so I can pick up where I left off when I switch to another device.

* '''BOOKMARKS''' - As a user, I want all of my bookmarks to be synced across my devices, although I don't expect full bookmark management tools on mobile devices yet. Any bookmarks I create while on mobile devices should be put into a single "Mobile" (or similar) folder which is then synced. Desktop bookmark organization & behaviour should not change. | * '''OPEN TABS''' - As a user, I want the option of syncing my tabs from other devices so I can pick up where I left off when I switch to another device.

* As a user of Firefox for Android, I do not expect my Reading List content to be synced to other devices at this time, because on many platforms Firefox does not yet have the Reading List feature. | * '''BOOKMARKS''' - As a user, I want all of my bookmarks to be synced across my devices, although I don't expect full bookmark management tools on mobile devices yet.

* As a user, I want to set up a Firefox Account using an email address and password of my choice, so I am not required to use any particular third-party sign-in service - I am comfortable using an email address of my choice for this purpose. | * As a user, I want to set up a Firefox Account using an email address and password of my choice, so I am not required to use any particular third-party sign-in service - I am comfortable using an email address of my choice for this purpose. | ||

* As a user, I want all of my data (history, bookmarks, etc.) to be saved on my local machine whether or not I've set up a Firefox Account, so I am still able to build up a collection of data and personalize my Firefox experience over time. | * As a user, I want all of my data (history, bookmarks, etc.) to be saved on my local machine whether or not I've set up a Firefox Account, so I am still able to build up a collection of data and personalize my Firefox experience over time. | ||
* As a user, I want to be able to change the password for my Firefox Account data from any of my Sync-enabled devices, so if someone does steal my laptop or other mobile device they won't be able to access any ''new'' data that is added to my Sync Account, even though they will be able to access the data that had been previously synced and is local on the device. | * As a user, I want to be able to change the password for my Firefox Account data from any of my Sync-enabled devices, so if someone does steal my laptop or other mobile device they won't be able to access any ''new'' data that is added to my Sync Account, even though they will be able to access the data that had been previously synced and is local on the device. | ||
* As a user, I want to be prompted to create a Firefox Account when I first install my browser, but I want it to be easy to dismiss that prompt either forever (so I don't get bothered again), or to be reminded again later in a day or two (so I remember to look at it in more detail another time). I also want it to be very easy to get more details about what a Firefox Account is and why I would want it before I go through the process of creating one. | * As a user, I want to be prompted to create a Firefox Account when I first install my browser, but I want it to be easy to dismiss that prompt either forever (so I don't get bothered again), or to be reminded again later in a day or two (so I remember to look at it in more detail another time).

=== | ==== Detaching Sync ==== | ||
* | * As a user, I want to be able to detach my Firefox Account on a device, but best-effort preserve the account and its related data for use in other clients or for later use in this client, to conserve on data costs on my mobile. | ||

=== Security/Encryption === | ==== Feature Usage Information ==== | ||
* As a user, I expect Firefox Sync to securely encrypt all of my passwords that are managed by my Firefox Password Manager so they cannot be accessed by anyone else, regardless of whether they have access to data on the Sync servers. | * Nothing | ||
* As a user, I would like the option of encrypting '''all''' of my Sync data, knowing that this will make my data completely unrecoverable if I lose my password. | |||
==== Performance & Stability ==== | |||
* As a user, in the event of Sync service interruptions, I expect to be able to use my browser and previously-synced local data as normal, even if Firefox cannot access the Sync servers for an extended period of time. | |||

* '''NEW''' As a user, I want to be able to detach my Firefox Account on a device, and be assured that my account and its related data will be preserved on Mozilla's servers, so I can access it later either with this or other clients. | |||

* As a mobile user, I expect Sync to be as bandwidth-conservative as possible, minimizing re-downloading or re-uploading data in event of system errors or other issues, and otherwise ensuring that bandwidth used should be approximately proportional to the volume of changes. | * As a mobile user, I expect Sync to be as bandwidth-conservative as possible, minimizing re-downloading or re-uploading data in event of system errors or other issues, and otherwise ensuring that bandwidth used should be approximately proportional to the volume of changes. | ||
* As a user of a more limited mobile device (ARMv6, FirefoxOS), I expect Sync to be able to intelligently scale down in terms of the amount of bandwidth and storage it uses so it does not excessively tax my data plan or storage space. | * As a user of a more limited mobile device (ARMv6, FirefoxOS), I expect Sync to be able to intelligently scale down in terms of the amount of bandwidth and storage it uses so it does not excessively tax my data plan or storage space. | ||
