talked about leveraging Firefox Sync in the past to

storing oodles of information like local messages. At the time
I last recalled talking with them, they were telling us "hold
off, we're completely rewriting the thing in the next few
months" (yet another example of the underestimation of rewrite
complexity). Since then, I did hear a story from the SeaMonkey
folks that the Sync people were moving goalposts to reject
being usable for SeaMonkey, and, given the confused Mozilla
policy with respect to Thunderbird, it's unclear if we could
leverage that service still. <br>

Actually, from all I know, the Sync rewrite was done, it's now
based on Firefox Accounts for logging in, and they said that
SeaMonkey is free to use Sync in its current state a while ago -
there is just nobody on the SeaMonkey side that would have
ported the new code yet. <br>
From all I hear, it's a pretty sane and nice system at this time
for whoever actually has code for using it. <br>

Sounds great - is there an API or recommended XPCOM interface that
can be leveraged by us Addons developers? I would love to
introduce Tabs / Filters synchronisation with my Addons as I am
often asked for this feature. It's an ideal candidate for sync as
the amount of data is relatively small.<br>
