What is Weave

Weave is a Mozilla Labs project to integrate web services into Firefox by allowing users to securely share their data with other instances of their own software, other users and 3rd parties. The Weave project includes a Firefox add-on, a server component, and data sharing APIs.

The first service under the Weave umbrella is the synchronization service. The Weave Sync 1.0 add-on lets you securely take your Firefox experience with you to all your Firefox browsers. Mozilla operates a hosted server, and the source code for the server is open so that any user may operate their own server if they wish. The synchronization product keeps bookmarks, history, form data, passwords, tabs, and user preferences, and provides an API to allow add-on developers to synchronize their data as well.

You can read more about Weave in its "project page," as well as the Weave User Forum.
