 Firefox includes an ability to sync tabs, bookmarks, passwords, etc via a
 built in sync tool.  This seems to be an obvious security leak and this
 functionality should probably be disabled.  A user must create and/or sign
 in before its active, but due to the Tor Browser bundling, the info text
 reads as "Access your tabs, bookmarks, passwords and more wherever you use
 Tor Browser." and might confuse the less technically savvy user.  Help
 button links to Mozilla Support.
