"Onion Location" and "Onion Names" are very welcomed improvements. Not having memorable names makes it tough for people that use a non-persistent OS for Tor. I

  On the topic of using Tor with a non-persistent OS, what I'd really like to see on that front is a federated encrypted bookmarking sync service integrated into the browser. Would be really neat if you could "sign-in" to the browser using a human-memorizable identifier to restore bookmarks and other settings. Obviously that opens up additional attack surface for de-anonymization attacks, but I think it could be done reasonably securely given sufficient effort. (Hashing and key-stretching the login credentials, fetching bookmarks over a separate Tor circuit, storing the encrypted payload in a distributed database rather than a centralized server, etc.) Done right, a system like that could potentially even lead to an open standard for synchronizing bookmarks, passwords, and other settings across different browsers.

    Firefox Sync meets all the criteria you've described, except I don't think it has automatic Tor integration.

      Firefox Sync is federated? I only ever saw an option to sync using my Firefox account. (Which is a non-starter for Tor; since my Firefox account is tied to my email address.) I also didn't realize it was an open standard. Are there any other implementations besides the one in Firefox? I couldn't find any information on that.
