In practice, to prevent abuse by marketers and similar parties, we're
going to need to make this space far more sparse than would be provided
by 8 digits. If we were to provide the same properties as the URL -- and
I would argue that we should -- we would need on the order of 19 or 20.
I'm not sure that's much of an improvement, for the use cases you describe.
Hmmm, OK, that's too bad. Have we thought of other ways that these links can be
shared?
Yes; we do have bugs open to send them via email and/or SMS with minimal
user interaction. These will probably be implemented in the Firefox 35
timeframe.
How long are the unique identifiers valid for? 30 seconds, 5 minutes, 30
minutes?
Eventually, this will be user-adjustable; but, for now it's 30 days.
