CloudServices/UX
A guide to Cloud Services UX initiatives at Mozilla, primarily comprising of Firefox Accounts and its relying services. Questions, objections, and suggestions should be directed to John Gruen and Ryan Feeley.
Firefox Accounts
Firefox Accounts is a privacy-respecting account system that enables a unified experience across supported clients and devices, including Firefox desktop browser, Firefox Android browser, Firefox OS, and Mozilla web properties. Newly launched, its first service is Sync for Firefox desktop and Android, but soon it will back both new and existing Mozilla properties. There are no current plans to use Firefox Accounts to replace Personas a sign-in system for the web.
Relying Services
Sync
Enables synchronizing of Firefox desktop and Android profile data including tabs, bookmarks, passwords and more.
