how different devices can decrypt same data ?
it is said here that synced data is encrypted to save privacy and protect against identity theft . https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-lockwise-and-privacy
but if the synced data is encrypted by device A and sent to mozilla server for saving, how does device B able to decrypted the data received from mozilla after signing in ? this can be possible only if the encryption happens at mozilla server side and not the device itself .
doesn't this means mozilla server as well able to decrypt the data and read it ? so you can read all my passwords i synced through you ?

Your installation of Firefox or the Lockwise app uses your Firefox Account password to encrypt and decrypt the data. Mozilla has a hash of the password used to verify your login, but it does not have the password itself, so Mozilla cannot decrypt the data.
