I appreciate your thoughts on the subject but I tend to disagree, there are other applications that support more than one service and giving the capability to choose from several of the most popular services such as OneDrive, NextCloud and Google Cloud to name a few and not be limited to only one product. In certain situations such as mine it would make it easier for users and IT staff to find the data that is needed when moving from computer to computer all in one place. All I am asking is it possible to direct Firefox data to OneDrive and have it available no matter the computer the user is logged onto.

Given the number of cloud services, until and unless there is a standard interface (I like Tim BL's idea of user's having control of who can access which bits of data, implemented in Solid Pods*), I would prefer that Firefox does not attempt to support all of them natively. Nor should it show favouritism, so it should support *none* of them natively (OK I'll accept the Mozilla/Firefox one); addons/extensions *are* the way to go. * https://solidproject.org/ Solid is a specification that lets people store their data securely in decentralized data stores called Pods. -- Andrew C.
