password unless I ask Firefox to save it.
We have your facebook cookie, which is equivalent to identify you. We
are not storing anything extra here. As a UA, we simply have this info.

Even then, just because I save my password in Firefox does not mean I
want Firefox to auto-login to services using that password. What if I
save three different passwords for three different usernames in my
Firefox?
We should be more explicit about password usage and logging into services.

There's been an idea kicked around repeatedly by andreas and ekr
that we could do login to picl *implictly* based on browser
knowledge of sites you visit.
The idea goes something like this "given that PiCL is inside the
browser, and the browser knows your identity on various sites,
couldn't we just use the accounts you already have to sign you
into PiCL".
This idea represents a significant divergence from what we're
doing now, building Firefox accounts.
If it has legs, we should understand now. If it doesn't, we
should understand now so we can stop talking about it and continue
to cruise. Let's have this conversation now, it'll be fun!
Andreas or Ekr, Take the stage and explain how this might work!
Questions to kick you off:
1. As a user, I set up sync on my desktop browser by XXXX
2. As a user, I link my android device to the sync account used on
my desktop by XXXX
