1 - The only things that sync on Android are:

  • bookmarks
  • credit cards
  • browsing history
  • logins
  • open tabs

I believe all of this data is wiped from Mozilla servers if you forget your Sync password. They provide you a recovery key when you sign up: store it safely to retain access to your data in the rare event that you forget your password.

2 - On Android I'm not sure - you'll need to try it out. On Desktop: yes they do.

3 - On Android I'm not sure. On Desktop: yes they do, but usually only if the extension developer has implemented it.

4 - I highly doubt it
