Great video, thanks for posting this! Thanks mang! 1. at 5:35, we have the doorhanger that says "Your browser will now begin syncing all of your bookmarks, history, passwords and more." along with a [customize] link and [Start Syncing] button. Will the browser *now* begin syncing, or do I need to click the start syncing button before it starts syncing? I think I'm a bit confused with the word "now" versus a button which implies that I need to take action. Good point...user needs to perform an action to start syncing. We'll update the copy accordingly. 2. at 5:52, we say "Signed in as "[email protected]" in the doorhanger/dropdown. How will this handle longer names/emails? You're already pushing the limits of the dropdown width with your name, but are you thinking we should just truncate the signed in user's email address, or wrap it onto a second line, or <other>? This will be extra problematic when we start using things like plusses and other things in email addresses (ie: [email protected]). For now we could do something like: Signed in as peterdehaan+some... As long as we signal state in a meaningful way it's okay if things get truncated a bit. FWIW, once FxA stands up a profile server with things like display names and profile images, we'll have more flexibility in this space. 3. at 6:07 (or whatever), i see the Sync settings, but will we have a workflow for users logging _out_ of sync? I see a link for "change password" but nothing to let me sign out in case I was on a shared family computer. Noted: I guess i just left that out of the flow, we do need a sign out link in prefs, but it's my understanding that we want to **de-emphasize it**. 4. At 0:40, are there any plans to add a logged in user's information to the about:home page (or anywhere else other than dropping down the settings menu where it says "Sign in to Firefox" (or "Signed in as "[email protected]" -- or even going to sync settings to see the currently signed in user)? No plans at present, this may change at some point, but not in 29. 5. at 3:38, we have the "Terms & Conditions" and "Privacy Policy" buttons. Since those tend to be big walls of text, were you seeing those as popup windows, new tabs, or some sort of modal overlay on top of the accounts.firefox.com page? In the case of 123done.org, we're currently just throwing up new tabs in a browser and pointing people to http://123done.org/tos.txt and http://123done.org/pp.txt. New tabs (or whatever's easiest, i have no opinion on this matter).

(Looking at 4:19 of your excellent video walkthrough). -peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick Alexander" <[email protected]> To: "John Gruen" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 8, 2014 8:53:44 AM Subject: Re: Walkthru of FxA/Sync Account Creation On 1/8/2014, 8:39 AM, John Gruen wrote: > I've put together a step through of our UX vision for new Sync on the desktop > browser.

Even if we declared they were final, who would believe us? Great work!
