WHY DO I USE THIS BROWSER THEN

Hi

Firefox Sync is not designed as data storage but (as the name suggests) to sync data between copies of Firefox.

Data that is being synced is erased on a password change to protect your information from third parties who may be changing the user credentials with malicious intent.
