For Google contacts, user authentication for this feature is achieved by using OAuth. In order to use Google's servers with OAuth, clients need to send an OAuth client ID and a secret during the OAuth procedure. Mozilla has such a key that ships as part of official Firefox builds; however, this key is not available to developers or downstream distributions. In order to make use of the Google contact import feature, non-official builds must provision their own key. | For Google contacts, user authentication for this feature is achieved by using OAuth.
