Randomly generate 10 characters from a pool of 70 possible characters for an equivalent 61.29-bit GUID which should have around 1% chance of collision (within a collection) after ~100 million records.
Rework server/user/misc prefs to allow relative paths and full urls for generating API paths. Cache string properties of generated URLs under the storageAPI instead of using dynamic getters.
Only fetch a limited number of items on first/update syncs and if we get the same number, ask the server for the ids to fetch later. Also on every download, process some of the backlog and save the list of GUIDs to disk as json for cross-session support.
Bug 506790 - Utils.setPassword unnecessarily removes logins and add them when the realm/user/pass are the same
Bug 506792 - Utils.setPassword gets called multiple times for both password and passphrase on login
Bug 514499 - Passphrase not verified with auto-login
Don't aggressively persist the password with smart (dumb?) setters that clear out the temp password; and provide a separate function to persist the login. This effectively makes setting password/passphrase always temporary until persisted, which will check if the value is different from the one already stored on disk. A number of verify/cluster functions are privitized to not need to take user/pass/passph as arguments so that the default authenticator will work, and verifyPassphrase will use the stored passphrase to correctly handle auto-login.
Remove the Wizard Dialog, Account Pane, Login Dialog, Add-ons Pane, Advanced Dialog and their related xul/js/css/strings/images. Clean up some unused functions, xul:preferences, css, strings. Orphaned functionality: autoconnect preference, reset/forgot password/passphrase.
Wrap the original SyncEngine._sync function with a call to runInBatchMode, so SQL disk writes happen at the end of batch mode instead of on every change.
Trim the full path from JS stacks and just show the file and convert nsIException traces to look like js stacks: func()@file:line. Only difference is js stacks show arguments while nsIException always shows just (). Fix up some places where we print the exception instead of the fixed up string.
Remove short-circuit logic of comparing number of keys for deepEquals and iterate through each key on both objects to make sure both have the same value.
Add a couple Utils helper to create a pair of simple [gs]etters that use a hash property instead. Apply this to various records: WBORecord, {Priv,Pub}Key, Crypto{Meta,Wrapper}, and every engine's type records. Migrate by making sure key data exists (name change).
