AFAICR, MS never achieved round tripping between their own formats, let alone ODF. It was a lock in scheme where MS would delegate people to the ODF committees (don't remember the official name) to sabotage them from the inside.
Fluor is an electron stealer. Enough for me not to touch it with a ten foot pole. Besides, tooth regrowing/regeneration will be available in the next few years.
> Fluoride, as an ion (F-), is not reactive in the same way that elemental fluorine (F2) is. Fluoride ions are stable and typically do not readily gain or lose electrons, while elemental fluorine is highly reactive due to its strong electronegativity and tendency to attract electrons from other elements.
It's not about bookmarks only. Also history. A syncserver is the only way to access firefox mobile history, as its api (browser.history) is severely restricted or unavailable.
So short of rooting your device to directly access places.sqlite, there's no alternative.

What I'm pointing is that in previous versions, Firefox ITSELF used to allow setting an arbitrary WebDAV server as "sync server", and STILL sync history, tabs, whatever the heck you can think of. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2010/02/mozil... . It is much later that the option to use a plain WebDAV server disappeared from Firefox Sync, and also later that the option to set your own E2EE key also disappeared (and forced to use the login pw instead, making it easier for Mozilla to capture). The "restriction" you are pointing out is entirely Mozilla-made. All in the name of user convenience of course.
Again, why is anything other than a dumb storage server required, considering than previous versions used to be able to do it with just a dumb storage server ?
In windows start regedit as administrator and navigate to/create HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome.
Under the Chrome key, create a DWORD value named "ExtensionManifestV2Availability" with hex value 2.
Restart Chrome. If successful, you'll notice the ExtensionManifestV2Availability entry with value 2 in chrome://policy and the settings page will mention "managed by your organization".
