== Use cases ==
== Use cases (in scope for our FxOS 2.5 goal) ==
=== Saved passwords ===
Alice has been using FxDesktop for a while, and has saved the passwords for her favorite websites in FxDesktop Saved Passwords. She is already using FxSync on FxDesktop. Once she enables FxSync on her FxOS phone, the next time she visits one of these websites with her phone, the password to log in is prefilled with the one from FxSync. From now on, if she updates or adds a password on any device, this will also be updated on her other devices.
 
=== Browser History ===
Alice has been using FxDesktop for a while, and is already using FxSync there. Once she enables FxSync on her FxOS phone, the next time she opens the browser, she will see items from her FxDesktop history show up in the thumbnail tiles. Also, when she starts typing a URL, it autocompletes from the history that was synced from FxDesktop. From now on, if she visits a website on any device, this will also be updated in the browser history on her other devices.
 
=== Bookmarks ===
Alice has been using FxDesktop for a while, and has collected a nice set of bookmarks for her favorite websites there. She is already using FxSync on FxDesktop. Once she enables FxSync on her FxOS TV, the next time she browses the web with her TV, her bookmarks from FxSync are available. From now on, if she adds or updates a bookmark on any device that supports bookmarks, this will also be updated on her other devices.
 
== Use cases (post-2.5) ==

=== Messaging application ===
Alice uses her Messaging app to send and receive SMS, MMS and IM. She accesses this application from her Firefox OS tablet, her desktop browser and her Android phone. She can see and manage the history and content of the messages sent and received from any of these devices. She can continue writing an IM that she started typing on her Android phone on her desktop browser app.
