Introducing Weave

An interesting idea from Mozilla, allowing the storing of settings, history, favourites etc. in a central location, so any computer you use (that is attched to the web... well, why would you be using firefox if it wasn't, really?) can appear similar, and share information.

This may at first sound to be, unecessary, and only really useful for themes and similar. But when we take into consideration the onset of the iPhone and googles ZOMBIE os for phones, we start to see that we could be researching something at home (using favourites) then continue on the train, ready for a meeting later in the day. There are also ideas on allowing extensions to do similar, so this could be a very promising future of shared firefox, or yet another facebook disaster (hundreds of groups and rubbish everyone gets annoyed with).

Fingers crossed for the former.
