I really don't want to use Sync.
For what reason? Note that all data sent to a server by Sync is not
readable by the server or its operators as it's encrypted on the client
side and the private key is never sent to the server. Of course, as we
are an open organization, you can set up your own server as well, of
course, Mozilla even provides a version for you to install.
Security is not a major issue, at least for most people, but depending
on the network and someone else' servers for backup (and rollback if
needed) might be. If I understand the limitations on version
compatibility between machines, that might be an issue as well.
Note that Sync does not change that your bookmarks, history, passwords,
tabs are _primarily_ stored *on your own computer, in your profile*.
It just backs up all of those in an encrypted form on the Sync server
(by default a Mozilla server) and *synchronizes* your local changes with
this "backup" if you will, as well as any other connected machines with
the backup.
And I think that for many people, privacy actually is an issue, esp.
when it comes to what websites they have visited when, or their passwords.
