I have read all the info on the new sync, but it is not clear to me when it says: "While the old version of Sync will continue to work, the latest version of Firefox doesn't support adding new devices to the old version of Sync. This means that you won't be able to sync with a new device. 

to allow for migration to Firefox Accounts."

the old version of Sync will continue to work, but Mozilla will continue to host the old version of Sync for a limited time...? This is confusing.

Does i mean that the old version of Sync will continue to work for a limited time only? or rather, that it will work indefinitely, but only for your devices already paired/synced?

The new version of Sync will work in a limited capacity for a short time. You can use it as is, but you can't add new devices. You should upgrade to the new sync ASAP (it's more reliable and robust).

Sync your Firefox bookmarks, history, passwords and more
