We have implemented import-only bookmarks and history synchronization | |||
for the Smart TV in FxOS 2.5. We will be enabling FxSync on master for phone foxfooders soon. | |||
The next logical step is to finish the work that we started with Firefox Sync | |||
in a way that Firefox OS can catch up with other Firefox Sync clients (Desktop, | |||
Android and iOS). So we need to work on exporting data from the collections that | |||
we already have implemented (bookmarks and history) and work on importing/exporting | |||
from the collections that it still doesn't have (passwords, add-ons, tabs, | |||
preferences, forms, clients). Some of these may not make sense on Firefox OS though. | |||
Also for bookmarks, we still need to define and implement an UI to display the | |||
synchronized bookmarks on the phone. | |||
Finally, we need to allow the creation of new Sync users from Firefox OS. This | |||
involves generating the 'crypto/keys' object containing a new bulk key bundle, | |||
encrypt it with 'kB' on the client and uploading it to the server. | |||
