I hope they don't remove Mozilla accounts too, I have all my bookmarks and sync between devices there. Zen browser that I use relies on this and I assume other browsers based off Firefox do too. Mozilla does not have a good managing team and they deserve to go down but there should be a transition period.

How can they sell your details if you don't register for an account?

I'd personally much rather sync was done with no account. More like synching where clients connect directly to each other with a QR code (or cut&paste code)

I’d prefer a self-hosted option. They could even do it the KeePass way where it just saves to a file and you’re responsible for syncing it.
