Disable Sync Addons are no longer available
When I go to the Mozilla Addons and try to download the Disable Sync. It is no longer there anymore. Can Mozilla please add Disable Sync addons for the extension that I need to use. Because I have to use this for my browser to prevent any Syncing.

Sync won't work unless you enable it in Firefox. If it is working now and you want to disable it, use the Disconnect... button in about:preferences#sync
Back in the days of Firefox 28 and earlier Sync 1.1 could be disabled and then be run manually via a toolbar button. That feature was gone with the new Sync 1.5 version that came with Firefox 29. Maybe that "Disable Sync" extension was made for the Sync 1.1 version; it wouldn't have worked Sync 1.5 because the internal code isn't present to support it.
I doubt if Mozilla would create an extension for that functionality. Especially after removing the code for it.
The Disable Sync Extension tool is no longer available at the Mozilla Addons.
Is there anyway which I can disable the SYNC via about:config??? Because Mozilla somehow discontinue the Disable SYNC from clear code via the Mozilla addons site. I wonder why Mozilla decide to remove it. That makes me so frustrated!
You can set services.sync.*URL String prefs to an empty string value to prevent Firefox from connecting.
- services.sync.serverURL
- services.sync.jpake.serverURL
