Open issues/risks

Jetpack performance and unit test results are unknown. Jetpack localization API is not implemented yet.

Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

Ship the Identity features as a Jetpack-based add-on bundled with Firefox Nightly by the end of the year.

2. Users & use cases

This is an experimental approach to new feature development in the browser.

3. Dependencies

• Jetpack localization API
• Infrastructure for running unit tests bundled with add-ons

4. Requirements

Integrate the Identity features in Firefox itself.

Non-goals

• Ship Jetpack runtime inside the Firefox core
• Ship the Identity features inside the Firefox core

Stage 2: Design

5. Functional specification

`

6. User experience design

`

Stage 3: Planning

7. Implementation plan

More detail once scope of work is determined, but this is the high-level plan:

• Acquire a project branch to work on
• Land the Identity add-on on the project branch, bundled as add-on with Firefox
• Determine the delta from a landable state with regard to Talos results and unit test failures
• Scope work required to get to landable state: File bugs, get estimates for them
• Re-evaluate feasibility
• Coordinate work between Identity, Firefox, Jetpack and Platform teams

8. Reviews

Security review

Jetpack went through a security review prior to 1.0. Some of the core loader code has been rewritten, so it should be re-reviewed at least. The Identity add-on code itself will also need review.
