Due to the recent breach of competition browser sync, I am wondering if FF Sync is any better in the matter of security?

hello, the firefox sync protocol is designed with security in mind, but it depends on you using a strong and unique password for the account. all the technical details about sync's security are documented at https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-auth-server/wiki/onepw-protocol in case you are interested in this.
