Firefox keeps obsessively asking for sync

I love Firefox (FF), I use it on my home PC, work laptop, and my smartphone. I use a FF account for synchronization which is quite handy. But why, WHY every time I log into my account I'm getting an email: "Last reminder to sync devices! bla bla bla" Can not FF learn that my account uses sync? I don't have more devices for extra synchronization :) Is that really hard?

Hi

Firefox Sync is not designed to be an online backup solution. It's primary purpose is to help Sync bookmarks and other data between different copies of Firefox (such as between a desktop and a mobile phone).

Right, and this doesn't relate to the question anyhow
