Project Exploration

The Cloud Services team pursues two types of services, those endemic to Firefox are Firefox Services and those endemic to Cloud Services are Cloud Services.

Defining Endemic Firefox Services

• The Firefox team(s) leads, defining, implementing, integrating and marketing the Firefox Service as a Firefox feature.
• Cloud Services team supports the Firefox team(s), primarily via the Firefox Accounts API providing identity, authentication and storage as required by the Firefox Service.
• Firefox Services typically support and extend Firefox features, providing user task continuity across Firefox instances and devices by time- and space-shifting Firefox state.

Prospective Firefox Services

• Firefox Backup - Enable Firefox to save/recover previous Firefox states

Defining Endemic Cloud Services

• The Cloud Services team leads, defining, implementing and marketing the Cloud Service as a Firefox Account feature.
• Firefox teams support the Cloud Services team, primarily via Firefox integration and distribution of the Cloud Service.
• Cloud Services typically support and extend Open Web user identity, data and personalization by implementing market differentiated, defensible, sustainable, SaaS/PaaS-style services.

Prospective Cloud Services

• Firefox Account Pro - $20/year for exclusive access to our Cloud Services betas
• Firefox Faces - Open Web Messaging
• Firefox Friends - Open Web Social Publishing
• Firefox Finesse - Open Web Personalization
• Firefox Flow - Open Web Mobile Assistant
