I use the built-in sync service in various Firefox forks to sync bookmarks/history/tabs, using the default Mozilla servers.
When I went to “Manage Account” to review and prune the devices (“services?”) linked with Mozilla Sync down to what I’m actively using currently, and noticed “Mozilla Monitor” in there.
I can’t find any info on why Mozilla Monitor required sync credentials, and I don’t remember Mozilla Monitor telling me it would be gaining access to my sync data, nor can I find any way to review what data “Mozilla Monitor” has access to.
Any ideas?
For now I’m signing out that entry, while I consider other sync options.
Edit: changed title from ‘Mozilla/Firefox sync - why is “Mozilla Monitor” a signed in device?’
I’ve seen no documentation that Mozilla Monitor works by accessing one’s sync data.
The interface suggests that it only monitors email addresses manually added on monitor.mozilla.org’s UI.
