Does Firefox sell your personal data?
To be honest, the writing was on the wall way earlier; when Mozilla integrated Firefox Sync (unless you sync to your own server, ofocourse: https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver) and the acquisition of Pocket in 2017, after a 2 year partnership.
Data mining galore, not unlike Yahoo's acquisition of the "free" Delicio.us back in the day.

Anybody have problems with bookmark organization like me?
I wish you could self-host your own sync server.
There are sources and a docker image available to do this, but the missing piece seems to be that it requires a mozilla account server.

Reason to Use Firefox Is Sync That Works
Firefox's sync service is open source [1], so you can self-host it and update your about:config to point to it. I do this and it works great.
Caveat is that I've linked to the old Python one, and they've got a new Rust one, but it didn't support SQLite the last time I had checked.

Self-host(able) sync server for web browser? [Need Suggestions!]
I'm currently self-hosting Firefox's sync server, its been working good for a year now. Syncing everything, bookmarks, history between Windows, Mac and Android. I like Firefox but I want to switch browsers after reading this (Not necessarily this issue, but the possibilty of something similar that can't be avoided happening in the future).

How trustworthy is Mozilla Firefox with user accounts and data?
Been self-hosting their unmaintained repo https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver for 2 years with 0 maintenance required (honestly forgot I had it running until I saw this thread).

Firefox Sync on Raspberry Pi ? / Dead project??
Would love to host Firefox Sync Server on a local Pi but the project seems to have died? https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver

Ask HN: Is anyone successfully self-hosting Firefox Sync?
Their issue tracker suggests that it’s mostly due to their team being focused on the main Firefox service:
https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver/issues/264#is...
I’m sure it wouldn’t be that hard to port but if they’re committed to a different direction it’s probably best not to give the impression that you should plan to keep using it.
What are some alternatives?
