For '''Browser/System''' specific data we chose to use the existing [[Services/Sync|Firefox Sync]] platform. That will give users a way to backup Firefox OS system data like the list of installed apps, the browser history, their bookmarks, etc. and to access this data from any Firefox product (Desktop, Android, iOS, OS).
For '''Browser/System''' specific data we chose to use the existing [[Services/Sync|Firefox Sync]] platform. That will give users a way to backup some of the browser-related system data like saved passwords, the browser history, their bookmarks, etc. and to access this data from any Firefox product (Desktop, Android, iOS, OS).
It seems that we will probably need to rewrite a lot of the code that currently exists in Gecko and we will need to expose a Gaia only API to allow apps to feed the platform with this kind of data from the content side.
We will be adding more details once we figure out all the required work.
