Open issues/risks
Other browsers all migrate Firefox settings and data. We are surely losing lots of potential users here.
Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
Firefox offers new users migration of settings and data from Internet Explorer, Safari, and Opera. It does not offer users migration from Chrome. It should.
The goal is to make Firefox a seamless conversion from Chrome.
This feature falls primarily in the Experience category (from the "Discover, Experience, and Connect" vision statement.)
2. Users & use cases
A Chrome user wants to try out Firefox so he downloads it and installs it. Unfortunately, for him and the 150 million other Chrome users who might want to try out Firefox, his Chrome settings and data are not migrated so when he goes to log into Facebook and his username and password are not pre-filled, he says "screw it" and returns to Chrome.

4. Requirements

Non-goals
The goal is not to keep Firefox in sync with Chrome, just to migrate it one time.
