Mozilla announces "Firefox Accounts"

The Mozilla Blog has an announcement about "Firefox Accounts," a new service being rolled out by the browser vendor. The post describes this venture as "as a safe and easy way for you to create an account that enables you to sign in and take your Firefox with you anywhere. With Firefox Accounts, we can better integrate services into your Web experience." The announcement does not shed light on what services will be involved, other than the fact that it will incorporate the existing Firefox Sync. The service is testable on Mozilla's Aurora pre-release builds of Firefox.
