I've found my Firefox account to be very useful for syncing my history and bookmarks between my 6 devices. Even so, Mozilla, of all large technology organizations, should be the least likely to persistently nag you to get an account. That's user-hostile of them and they should know better. As for snaps - the idea, at least, is to set up a sandboxed Linux userspace that can help alleviate the absolutely terrible security model that we currently have. The implementation is awful, but at least the idea is noble. But, as to your overarching point - yes, even in the open source world, software is bad.
