Cloud Service Exploration

Cloud Services pursues two service categories: Firefox Endemic and Cloud Endemic.

Firefox Endemic Services Defined

• The Firefox team(s) leads, defining, implementing, integrating and marketing the 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 service.
• Firefox Endemic services typically extend existing Firefox features, usually time- and space-shifting Firefox feature state thus requiring Firefox development and, as necessary, Firefox Account API expansion.

Prospective Firefox Endemic Services

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

Cloud Endemic Services Defined

• The Cloud Services team leads, defining, implementing and marketing the service as a Firefox Account feature.
• Firefox teams support the Cloud Services team, primarily via Firefox integration and distribution of the service.
• Cloud Endemic services typically extend Open Web user utility, agency and sovereignty, usuall establishing user identity, protecting user data or personalizing the Open Web.

Firefox Bundled - only cloud development requirements; new user features

• Firefox Account Pro - Premium upgrade for early access to cloud service releases
• Firefox Faces - Talkilla/WebRTC real-time video/audio/chat/data
• Firefox Friends - Indie Web-as-a-Service
