Is there any use for my old Firefox Sync and Mozilla Weave keys?
I have a username and password and alphanumeric key of some kind for the original Firefox Sync. I also have a very long, random-looking key for Mozilla Weave. All my devices have been on Firefox Accounts-based sync for a long time now and that's working fine.
Is there any conceivable use for that old sync information? I'd like to review or back up any data that may still exist, before deleting the authentication info.

The old servers were shut down at some point. Let me see... nearly three years ago according to: Firefox Sync upgrade - Frequently Asked Questions. So the old key no longer has anything to unlock.

I would think not as Weave is now Sync. Since this was 2011 I would think would be degraded or gone. If you have user names and passwords try to login. If does not work, dump them.
Glad enjoying Sync since conception but please do remember that Sync does not replace doing a backup :
