Hence my appreciation if ever Firefox Sync Server ever comes to Cloudron.

Clients are available at https://www.xbrowsersync.org/

Currently, I am using Syncthing to sync Librewolf portable between devices. However I still encounter regular conflicts - Nothing major, but just some annoyances I could do without. My biggest pain in this setup is the heavy limitation for cross platforming.
And so Firefox Sync would alleviate these pain points however minor or major they are. So would be welcome.

Just saw that with Firefox Sync, you can control what to sync. I don't want Mozilla to save my sessions, passwords, or confidential data, but I don't care about bookmarks ^^ Maybe this could work.

I can host my own syncstorage-rs instance but I still belive it would be a nice and handy tool in addition to Cloudrons app portfolio.

Does it really not matter to anyone to own and protect their and others critical data, such as passwords, browsing history, and sessions? How do you guys handle that besides using the build in Firefox sync function?

They aren't concerned about their data security or anything, probably don't even understand the issues at all...

Google (again) postponed the rollout of manifest V3 in Chrome (and therefore every other Chromium based browser). I hope/think with the introduction of manifest V3 there will be a big shift in browser market share towards Firefox. By the time of writing, Chrome (and Chromium based browsers like Edge/Opera etc.) has a combined market share of >70%! Having the opportunity to easily host your own sync server at Cloudron would convince more users to migrate to Firefox and I would really appreciate that.

Understand a bit more on 2nd read.
I use Librefox https://librewolf.net as my preferred browser

AFAIK it affects all Chromium based browsers so Edge/Brave/Opera are affected as well.

Does it affect Brave Opera etc ?

skimming through the readme it seems deployment of it is coupled to the Google Cloud

More detail on that.

Note that this repository is no longer being maintained. Use this at your own risk, and with the understanding that it is not being maintained, work is being done on its replacement, and that no support or assistance will be offered.

Source https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver

The replacement is https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs, but skimming through the readme it seems deployment of it is coupled to the Google Cloud?

Regardless, this repo looks up to date and includes a Dockerfile for easier Cloudron inclusion.

I think the auth is still tried to mozilla servers but I am not sure.
