FxA will host its own BID verifier for relying Mozilla service to verify the assertions FxA generates. The reason is that the <code>principal</code> will be <code>{ email: <user's real email>, uid: <FxA user id> }</code>, which is not BID-kosher.
FxA enables clients to generate BrowserID assertions on behalf of the user. FxA provides a hosted verifier for verifying these assertions.


Update (11/14/13): A separate verifier is currently off the table. The proposal is to use the current verifier, with some changes.
Verifier server code: https://github.com/mozilla/browserid-verifier
Update (11/15/13): it sure seems like it is back on the table. Can someone confirm?
Verifier library: https://github.com/mozilla/browserid-local-verify
 
Production deployment: https://verifier.accounts.firefox.com/v2
