FF used to have browser-sync that you could send to your own server. Last I checked they had disabled it, but I wish it could be revitalized.

  Has anyone heard about an open source extension doing the same thing?

    Firefox has the ability to save bookmarks and all settings for that matter to a local folder upon closing the browser, you could then use an open source and hopefully encrypted sync tool to replicate those backups. Might be a bit clunky at first but if it catches on I'm sure one of the open source sync tools will come up with some sort of integration.

    I wanted to make one for Vivaldi but it doesn't use Chromium bookmarks API and there was a discussion about it already where it was said to be implemented with the option to sync on a self-hosted server. (https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/5816/sync-settings-and-bookmarks https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/5816/sync-settings-and-bookm...) I've also been working on one for Chrome but haven't had time lately to work on it.

  I didn't try but it doesn't seem to be disabled. They have two guides Self hosted sync server https://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-sync-1.5.html https://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-sync-1.5.html Self hosted accounts server https://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-fxa.html#howto-run-fxa https://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-fxa.html#howto-... The latter includes instructions about how to add the accounts server url to about:config

    Can confirm, still works fine as it always did.

    Ah, nice. I'll need to look into setting this up. Thanks!

  Both the old and new sync encrypt all data before storing it on the server.
