Summary of the project - Tagline + one or two paragraphs
Mozilla Weave enables you to have incredibly rich, personalized experiences across the web.
As the Web continues to evolve and more of our lives move online, we believe that Web browsers like Firefox can and should do more to broker rich experiences while increasing user control over their data and personal information. Weave is a Firefox add-on that is aimed at exploring this opportunity.
Some of the key functionality enabled by the Weave add-on includes:
- Synchronization engine - securely transports your browsing experience across all your devices
- Cryptographic engine - provides default client side encryption for all your data
- Weave server - a secure storage location for all your encrypted data
- APIs - extension interfaces for 3rd party developers
The initial release will provide extensive support for your browser meta-data (bookmarks, stored passwords, history, tabs, preferences, add-ons, personas).
Future releases will support other types of data and functionality.

How do I get started using Weave?
First, make sure you are running version 3.5 or higher of Mozilla Firefox.
Then, install the Weave Add-On.
Once you have successfully installed the Weave Add-On, open the Weave menu in the Tools menu or the bottom-right of the status-bar and select 'Sign in' to start syncing with Weave!
What are the main features of Weave?
Weave Sync is the first component of the Weave platform.
In short, Weave Sync lets you securely take your Firefox experience with you to all your Firefox browsers — including our mobile browser, codenamed Fennec. It currently supports continuous synchronization of your bookmarks, browsing history, saved passwords and tabs. For example:
- Get the same results on the Smart Location Bar on each of your Firefox browsers, so you can get to your favorite sites with just a few keystrokes
- Continue what you were doing: have the ability to open any tab you have open on any of your Firefox browsers
- Keep the same list of bookmarks on all of your Firefox browsers
- Easily sign in to all your favorite sites using your saved passwords (this is especially handy on mobile phones, where it’s hard to type in complex passwords)
- Do it all securely: Weave Sync encrypts user data before uploading it to Mozilla’s servers, so that only you can access your data
