Re: Registering as a Firefox Accounts Relier while being a non-Mozilla service, developing Firefox Sync WebExtension

2018-11-21 Thread Shane Tomlinson
Hi Krysztof,

Your idea sounds interesting, one I have wondered about myself! We have not yet 
opened up Firefox Accounts to non-Mozilla services, though we hope to in the 
future. Since Sync data is so sensitive, there is likely a lot of access 
control work we'll want to do before external apps & extensions are able to 
ingest it, for example, allowing users to explicitly state which Sync buckets 
they want to share with you. Right now it’s all or nothing, something users 
might not expect.

I will reach out to you directly to ask more.

Thanks,
Shane

Registering as a Firefox Accounts Relier while being a non-Mozilla service, developing Firefox Sync WebExtension

2018-11-21 Thread Krzysztof Zbiciński
Hello

I wanted to create a WebExtension that would add Firefox Sync support in
non-Firefox browsers (Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi(?)). After some research, I've
stumbled upon this article in MDN:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/Firefox_Accounts/Introduction

which led me to this mailing list.

I was wondering, if it is already possible to register as a relier while
being a non-Mozilla service? The docs are a bit unclear about this:

>We are exploring the possibility of allowing non-Mozilla services to
delegated authentication to Firefox Accounts, and would welcome discussion
of potential use-cases on the mailing list.

Kind regards,
Krzysztof
