Does Trisquel run a libre version of the Firefox Sync server?

According to the LibreWolf FAQ:
"Firefox Sync encrypts your data locally before transmitting it to the server. Additionally, you can self-host the old version of the server if you really don't want to use Mozilla's, and there's work being done to have the new version equally easy to self-host. Find out more about the technical details of Sync's implementation here and here."

Does Trisquel run a libre version of the Firefox Sync server for use with Trisquel and ABrowser? If not, would this be possible? Even a version that stored no data locally, but just facilitated sync between 2 browsers online at the same time would be handy.
If I read that correctly what about Firefox Sync is not libre already ? The source code is licensed using MPL which the FSF lists as GPL compatible and, as that FAQ mentions, the data is encrypted before transmission. I don't see how a libre version would be needed as it seems libre already.

The discussion that happened previously was about self-hosting. My comment in https://trisquel.info/fr/forum/thoughts-current-available-browsers-both-trisquel-and-androidreplicant#comment-169461 was that according to the documentation, that also requires to either self-host an account server, which is considered experimental, or rely on Mozilla's, so this isn't fully self-hosting.
Since that comment, I did configure my .mozilla directory for synchronization by seafile (and then there was constant activity on my seafile server) but I did not really try running abroswer on another computer with the synchronized directory.
I now run shaarli on my freedombox but it does not give a similar presentation like bookmarks (no folder structure, you need to search). I tried extensions to synchronize firefox bookmarks with shaarli but it did not work.
