Tin Can is currently an experimental project. The login is currently using personatest, which is running an older version. I'm not too sure what the status is (I'm a friend of the author) right now with integrating this into persona.

(Identity team member here.) Yes, that's right. tincan is against running an ephemeral instance of Persona that doesn't do the account bridging, and doesn't share a database with the real persona.org. We do plan to integrate this with Persona. Also, while I think this is an awesome use case for Persona, and we do intend to land it in Firefox [1], it's worth noting that the proposed webrtc idp proxy architecture [2] is designed to work with any identity provider, not just Persona, and could be incorporated into any browser.
