We've all turned off trimURLs but what else is hiding in there?

The firefox account is actually neat. It syncs bookmarks, history and passwords between desktop, phone, laptop or wherever you use firefox.

I manually backup my bookmarks. Firefox is set to delete history when I close it. For passwords I use KeePassXC.

It might still be useful to turn it off in some scenarios. For example you might not want firefox bothering you with the account on work PC where it might be against company policy to use the cloud sync.

Sure, but I only use it on my personal devices...

Yeah, I was just pointing out that the setting might be still useful for some FF users.
