 How safe is Mozilla Sync for Tor Browser users? The actual sync data is
 end-to-end encrypted, but is the metadata significant? Is it OK to use the
 official Mozilla Sync servers, or can they become a vector for targeted
 exploitation?

 Also, how about safety? Can it damage your TBB profile in ways that reduce
 your anonymity? Do we need to/can we hack sync in TBB so that it only will
 sync items with other Tor Browsers and not the official Firefox?
