Anything you wish there was an open source solution for?
Umap?
Umap (web based - partly does what you want). Osmand Mobile app.

save pins
Depends what you mean by private. For something shareable on the web you might want to try one of the uMap instances, not sure if you can keep them secret though. If you decide to use them I recommend you log into an OSM account first as otherwise it is very easy to lose the edit link.

Alternative to Google My Maps
For public display one of the uMap instances is probably easiest. It should allow you to import your previously exported points and also allows line and area attributes. The share link included embed code for a website. The instance linked by /u/beardy64 is probably the most popular, but there are several listed at my previous link. I would recommend you log in before creating the maps as without a login you have to carefully keep track of you edit URL's if you might ever want to update things.

Any ideas for Firefox search?
If someone is looking for an open-source webinterface for OpenStreetMap that offers a bit more eye candy, I recommend taking a look at Qwant Maps. Another useful OSM tool is uMap (source).

Google maps tracking alternative
Some people have issues installing Own Track's Recorder - This one is very minimal and saves your locations to an sqlite file.

What are your top self hosted services that you are very satisfied with ?
I also use OwnTracks on my phone and installed OwnTracks Recorder on my server. I skimmed over my blog post for that but I don't think there's much useful for you there.

none of the location tracking/sharing services are any good
I've looked at OwnTracks, Orion, and Hauk.

OwnTracks – keep track of your own location
As far as I know, owntracks doesn't actually store location history, it only defines a protocol for exchanging current location info between programs. If you're using their "official" recording server, writing a script to import history looks super easy [1].

Open-source, self-hosted location tracking with OwnTracks and Grafana
After setting up the client side, a server-side component to receive the OwnTracks app's requests is still missing. OwnTracks ships with its Recorder, which is a small and simple web application written in C. However, I did not like it a lot, as it does not look particularly beautiful and is very limited regarding its functionality. I rather wanted to visualize my data in Grafana. But to get it there, it first needs to be persisted to a database.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing uMap and OwnTracks Recorder you can also consider the following projects:
Traccar - Traccar GPS Tracking System
Orion - Robust web visualization tool for OwnTracks location data
Openstreetmap - The Rails application that powers OpenStreetMap
Graphhopper - Open source routing engine for OpenStreetMap. Use it as Java library or standalone web server.
Geoadmin - Source code of map.geo.admin.ch. Managed by geoadmin/infra-terraform-github-bgdi
web-mapviewer - The viewer application for maps and geodata. Managed by geoadmin/infra-terraform-github-bgdi
gpslogger - :satellite: Lightweight GPS Logging Application For Android.
