How trustworthy is Mozilla Firefox with user accounts and data?

3 years ago by Transporter to c/firefox

I want to sync things between 2 computers and apparently the only way to do this is to login to Firefox. Preferably I want to avoid tracking and stuff but sometimes it’s just a bit inconvenient. Is Mozilla trustworthy in terms of privacy with logging in, like data sales, especially data breach with passwords?

They don't sell your usage data or anything like that, but I still don't trust a browser to save things like passwords. There are better, more secure options for that sort of thing.
