I wish they fixed the long standing, annoying sync bug that makes Firefox download 7000+ containers every once in a while. Some of us hosed our sync accounts in one way or another (through the container duplication bug in m-a-c itself [1] or the temporary containers extension [2]) and it's impossible to recover - once you reach the storage quota on the sync server, the sync server refuses all write operations and delete call apparently counts as a write.
