Weave is a Mozilla Labs’ project to develop a coherent framework and platform for deeply integrating online services with the browser. Our goals are to enhance the Firefox user experience, increase user control over their personal information, and provide new opportunities for developers to build innovative online experiences.
As a development milestone, 0.2 is a major update to the Weave client and server prototypes that significantly builds upon previous versions.
Major Updates and Features
- Significant reworking of the installation and setup experience.
- Support for major browser data types, including bookmarks, browsing history, cookies, saved passwords, saved form data, and tabs.
- Intelligent scheduler for determining when to synchronize data between browser and server to improve performance.
- RSA public/private keys and AES encryption of all user data on the client side through NSS, the crypto library used by Firefox.
- End-to-end encryption, with initial support for secure sharing of data with a 3rd party and with XMPP-based notifications of shares.
Get Weave 0.2
For detailed information on the release, installation instructions, and known issues, please read the Weave 0.2 Release Notes.
Note: Weave 0.2 is not yet fully compatible with all Linux distributions. Please see the release notes for details and workarounds.
Get Involved
We’ll be rolling out prototypes of various components of the framework, gathering feedback, and hosting a series of discussions and sessions on the Mozilla Labs site to plan, design, and further develop Weave.
If I try to sign on with the correct password I get this:
2008-07-13 18:52:54 Async.Generator ERROR Exception: Cc['@labs.mozilla.com/Weave/Crypto;1'] is undefined (module:crypto.js:72 :: TypeError)
If I try to sign in with an incorrect password I get this(no crypto.js error this time):
2008-07-13 18:53:06 Service.Util ERROR Login verification failed Error code: 401
2008-07-13 18:53:06 Service.Util ERROR Cannot initialize server Error code: 401
2008-07-13 18:53:06 Async.Generator ERROR Exception: checkStatus failed
Still the error message that weave presents in both cases is “Invalid username and/or password”.
I hope it helps a bit…

Weave 0.2.4
Hi,
to get CAPTCHA-Images during Weave-Install, disable “NoScript”, “AdblockPlus” and similar AddOns.
bye, Lynxx
my firefox seems to be quite slower what could be the problem
I’m having the same problem with the sync window after I close firefox never seeming to go away (I give it a few minutes and then give up).
Great job picking up where GBS left off, more than anything I am looking forward to the eventual extension seeking
.
Thank you for your efforts
I installed the extension to my computer after having had to reinstall Windows, and I’m having a problem where it won’t accept my passphrase anymore either.
I’m desperately waiting for the release 1.0.I’m currently using Google Browser Sync. I’m heavily dependent on that Plugin. I’ve to shift places, and PC’s. I’ve lot of passwords saved that I need.
I’m seriously waiting for it!!
I get “invalid passphrase” from Weave 0.2.5, too,
on Firefox 3.0.1, Mac OS X 10.5.4 Intel.
I have Weave installed on my old computer, but I just bought a new one and I can’t find the download anywhere. I don’t want to open a new account, I just want a copy of the file so I can run weave on my new computer.
I have two machines with ubuntu hardy. I’ve done what suggested in the FAQ to update libnss and libnspr.
On both machines’ logfile I see the same error:
2008-08-05 11:09:00 Service.DAV ERROR Could not create directory on server

2008-08-05 12:04:25 Sync.Status INFO Skipping modal sync
I keep getting invalid passphrase on my 2nd computer. What gives?
i’m also getting invalid username/password issue. I know the info is valid. I have weave installed on my mac and pc. Just upgraded Weave to v0.2.6 and am being prompted to login. but it fails saying above msg. I am in Win Vista 64-bit (mac pro) Ffx 3.0 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0)
Every so often I get
Login verification failed Error code: 404
even though I haven’t changed anything – server problems?
i got the same error.. here my logs:

My error logs also look the same…405..method not allowed
When almost done with account creation I get a “Server Error” message.
Have tried two times, same result.
Did a prompted update to 0.2.6 (?) today, now I just get an error saying that my username/password is incorrect…
Hello, I´m from Spain and have a problem.
I can´t create an account, in pass 3 give me a message: server error.
I would wait to solve the problem or i´m doing bad?
Thanks.
PD: excuseme my english, is very poor, little, etc.
Everything was working great until I upgraded. My login was saved and I didn’t change anything but now I cannot sign in. I even tried resetting my password but it always says invalid password.
Why is this passphrase needed, can’t it be disabled. isn’t a password sufficient?
Hi, first I wanna thank you guys for the hard work you do.Good job and keep working.
Today after i search on internet for a hour i found a free webhosting that have WebDAV and works with Weave. So here is the link: http://www.mydisk.se
I hope this is usefull.
I can log in via my home computer running Fedora Linux with Firefox, but I have not been able to log into Weave with my Windows XP laptop since the upgrade. I also tried to reset my password and have the the same problem as matt646. I reinstalled the plugin and all information did confirm as accurate. It still does not work.
Server error on creating account. page with captcha. vista 64 + ff 3
Server error after CAPTCHA…
Awesome! But I’m sad I can’t register

Hi,
what’s going on, I’m also not able to login…..after trying the “password forgotten” option on the web-page it tells me that there’s no account with my name…?!?!?
I’m quite sure I have an account

I also have an authentification error on all my PCs. Help pages are also inaccessible through the addon’s UI. It looks like the server is down.

Does anyone know when we will be able to make new registrations?
thanks…
like it
I can’t register!!!!!!
CAPTHA is not workin for me..
It worked nicely for a while but then like quite a few of the comments it slowed down to the point where I have often have to cancel the sync. Somtimes it does complete the sync but when I open my bookmarks I keep getting the marks from weeks ago, so it seems like they are not being updated (well not for me). I check the logs and the error was:
Exception caught: Component returned failure code: 0×8052000e (NS_ERROR_FILE_IS_LOCKED) [nsINavHistoryService.addVisit]
Great idea but needs a bit more work.
If you have NoScript add-on enabled, you have to enable recaptcha.net in order to make CAPTCHA working during Weave account creation.
BTW: “Server error” message still appears during last account creation step..
Is anybody solving this?
