Firefox 4 syncs bookmarks and other settings to a host run by mozilla. How

  • 0

Firefox 4 syncs bookmarks and other settings to a host run by mozilla.

  • How do I access my bookmarks there (without Firefox)?
  • Is there a documented API?

It seems https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Firefox_Sync should contain the neccessary documentation but all links except the first point to empty pages.

I found a script called weave.py here https://github.com/mozilla/weaveclient-python/blob/master/weave.py that is supposed to be able to access those bookmarks but it is unable to use my credentials. It seems to expect usernames without “@” characters.

Is there any documentation out there on how to access Firefox sync data. Preferably with examples.

Right now I don’t even know the entry point to this supposed web service.

When I go to https://services.mozilla.com/ I can change my password and presumably remove everything.

    If you look at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Services/Sync, I think that’s the documentation you want. More detail is at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Weave/Sync/1.1/API.
