The 1.0 release of the Weave project provides a synchronization service for browser data between Firefox and Fennec instances, keyed on a user account hosted on a Weave server.  Mozilla operates a hosted server, and the source code for the server is open so that any user may operate their own server if they wish.  The synchronization product keeps bookmarks, history, form data, passwords, tabs, and user preferences, and provides an API to allow add-on developers to synchronize their data as well.
The first service under the Weave umbrella is the synchronization service. The Weave Sync 1.0 add-on lets you securely take your Firefox experience with you to all your Firefox browsers.  Mozilla operates a hosted server, and the source code for the server is open so that any user may operate their own server if they wish.  The synchronization product keeps bookmarks, history, form data, passwords, tabs, and user preferences, and provides an API to allow add-on developers to synchronize their data as well.


All software released as part of the Weave project is currently considered to be in the ''prototype'' stage, so use it at your own risk.
