Chosen solution

Sync is the most common reason you (or someone else using your Firefox?) might have created a Firefox Account, but there are other possible reasons: Access Mozilla Services with a Firefox Account.

If you prefer to log into your Firefox Account manually, especially if you don't need to sync continuously, you can remove the saved login. It's up to you.
