Huh? I'm still running my own sync server and it was really easy to setup.

Working fine with Firefox on macOS and Android. You can even setup the authentication server, but I didn't see why I'd need that. Having the data on my own server is enough for me.

It is still possible to hack 'old' sync accounts into nightly builds but this will soon disappear as well. The Android version does not support 'old' sync accounts any more.

I'm confused… I assume "'new' sync" means Sync-1.5 in your context, right? Where is the issue with using Sync-1.5? It works completely fine for me.
