Mozilla has just deleted the following:

“Does Firefox sell your personal data?”

“Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise. "

All Firefox forks that I’m aware of are compatible with Firefox Sync. If you don’t trust Mozilla’s Firefox Sync service (and personally, I think it’s fine: being end-to-end encrypted, Mozilla can’t see what you have in Sync regardless)

Ah thanks for this. That's really good to know. I was a little concerned that syncing your tabs in Firefox might be precisely one of those things that they're talking about with this new update.

you can also self-host your own Firefox Sync server

Oh, that's really cool! Do they have a Docker image for that? (Or even better, a Synology package?)

Yep, a Docker image, instructions in the readme: https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs#running-via-docker
