Products Signing into the browser concept needs revisited to ensure it matches user expectations. `
Engineering Lots of work to be done yet. An alpha version is available on GitHub at Alpha XPI.
  • Awaiting performance report from Dietrich. Initial stats show that bundling the addon incurs a performance penalty, but further review is needed to find out what is due to Jetpack and what is due to BrowserID portion.
  • Security review is needed on portions of Jetpack that are going to be used in addon.
  • Addon needs fixed to handle opening multiple Firefox windows.
  • Quality and Security Reviews are needed on addon code.
