I was reading the docs for Firefox Accounts [0]. They say that to become a
relying service, we need to email to get a client ID and secret to use Firefox
Account's OAuth2 provider.

BuddyUp is an app that consumes SUMO APIs to provide a platform for users to
ask and answer questions. Simply put, it's a Q/A app. We hope to have it
installed by default in the future, and it will be a packaged app.

I have a few questions about the OAuth process. Would it be possible to make
the redirect URI a link into an app? It would be preferable if the app could
get the OAuth callback directly, instead of SUMO having to some how relaunch
the app.

If that isn't possible, do you have any advice for using the OAuth flow from
inside an app? I suppose it would also be possible to use the native BrowserID
inspired APIs, but I understand that the OAuth2 flow is the preferred way going
forward.

Thanks,
