I am no longer able to use firefox unless i create an account. I don't understand why this is necessary. It seems like you are actually trying to limit privacy notwithstanding your privacy policy, by requiring that I tell you who I am

If you are talking about sync, this is an option. If you don't want/need it,

Shut down sync from here.
