Concerned about mozilla and firefox accounts. What are they used for? Hacking? I had enough of this bullshit watching my stuff . Its my ex and his girlfriend ir whatever. Im not under 13 fricken years old. If im not paying or using it? Why in tbe hell can a 3rd party just add what ever accounts they want? This world aint that so damn free! Oh il just hack me somebodies cell phone account, and violate their privacy. If it dont stop im reporting your companies to yje better hacking bureau, fbi and local news and police departments involved. this is THE UNITED STATES OF A GREAT AMERICA. SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING HERE!!@!!@

There is no need to use a Firefox Account to use Firefox for Android.

It is a convenience feature for people with a phone and a computer. A Firefox Account allows information such as bookmarks or passwords to be privately transferred from a computer to your phone. It is completely optional. If you do not sign up for the account then no information will be transferred

The question about being 13 years old is to comply with the US COPPA law.

The act, effective April 21, 2000, applies to the online collection of personal information by persons or entities under U.S. jurisdiction about children under 13 years of age. It details what a website operator must include in a privacy policy, when and how to seek verifiable consent from a parent or guardian, and what responsibilities an operator has to protect children's privacy and safety online including restrictions on the marketing of those under 13.

People more likely get a Firefox account for to sync information between two devices. Purely optional as said as you can use Firefox on only one device without a Firefox account. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-sync-my-computer

Nothing to do with hacking and unlike with companies like Microsoft and Google, Mozilla actually cares about users privacy.
