In light of the Edward Snowden revelations about the NSA and in particular use of the Homeland Security laws to obtain ANY information that a US company holds about a person…

Is there any way the Mozilla organisation can get access to my synced bookmarks?

What is the level of encryption? (technical details please - obscurity may as well be no security)

How secure is it?

See "Why does Firefox Accounts require me to choose a password?":

In the FxA backed version of Firefox Sync, we will encrypt your Sync data with a key derived from your Firefox Account password, instead a random key managed by the J-PAKE pairing protocol.
