998937 - Create Sync sign up and sign in flow that exists in a web page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 998051

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Holly Habstritt Gaal [:Habber]]

Problem: 
A path to the Sync sign up and sign in flow does not exist in a standard web page. It is only accessible via 'about:accounts'. Users can access this flow via the new menu panel, found in the Firefox 29 design. This is not a standard web page and therefore can not be directly linked to from mozilla.org (or any web page). 

Note that 'accounts.firefox.com' is a web page that supports account creation, but does not mention Sync specifically because accounts are used for multiple products. It currently contains no mention of Sync and is not an appropriate flow to send potential and current Sync users through.  


Solution:
The flow that is currently found at 'about:accounts' should also exist in a standard web page so that it can be linked to from Mozilla.org. Possible applications: Snippets, any mozilla.org page mentioning sync, SUMO, Sync marketing pages, Firefox newsletter.
