Goals
- Unify the existing authentication UI (modal dialogs, notification bars, etc.) to handle user authentication in a doorhanger notification that is accessible, easily dismissable, and not phishable/spoofable.
Non-Goals
- Firefox/Projects/SiteIdentity (might be out-of-date)
- Firefox/Projects/Doorhanger_notifications (might be out-of-date)
- Geolocation UI is being handled by another project.
- Converting all existing prompts and notification bars is not a goal of this project.
