- can we access the password manager from a firefox extension? Yes. - is the user logged in to a web application, if an extension is logged in to it? I.e. is there a shared cookie between extensions and the main browser? It depends on how we do the auth. I imagine if we do the auth with cookies, the answer is yes. If we send auth credentials with each alarms ping (say using json-rpc), then the answer is no.

The user still need to be logged in for that. We would have to store the user's credentials somewhere for that. That poses two questions: - can we access the password manager from a firefox extension? - is the user logged in to a web application, if an extension is logged in to it? I.e. is there a shared cookie between extensions and the main browser?

Create a Firefox (and Thunderbird) extension that monitors for alarms even when the user isn't logged in to Horde.
