The alternative to Mozilla sync is eg. Filen, an German Opensource encrypted, no knowledge cloud service. 10GB for free forever, for more see pricing

Wont work if its PC Smartphone combo
Shameless plug about my own lemmy post about filebased FF sync: https://lemmy.ml/post/27254722
I use filen actively
But, how to use it as an Alternative to firefox sync??
Firefox, same as any other Browser, has a local folder with all the settings, bookmarks and passwords, this is the folder which you have to sync with your other devices. Firefox sync don't do other thing, but with Mozilla and not with Filen.
But I cannot access this folder on Android? Otherwise I had used Syncthing.
In this case the only alternative is to use Vivaldi instead of FF forks, it has an own EE2E no knowledge sync in all devices.
