This seems like a great time to install LibreWolf.
Yes, but even more important to avoid sync with an Mozilla account, if you need the sync function (maybe Filen?) (Vivaldi has an own sync EE2E)
AFAIK the sync is end to end encrypted
Yes, Mozilla sync is encrypted, but your account data is sended to Alphabet (Google) and tracked by googleanalytics and google-tagmanager.
I just switched to Bitwarden for passwords
Firefox sync is E2EE too (or at least can be, mine is)
i think you can have it sync to a self hosted server, also an option.
You can, but the last time I did that the instructions were incomplete, and you still had to auth through Mozilla. That was a few years ago, so things might have changed since then.
Is File selfhostable & FOSS ?
Yes https://github.com/FilenCloudDienste
Which one is the server, I couldn't tell.
