How long could Firefox browsing history be kept on the cloud, attached to the Firefox Account?
Firefox browsing history could be store locally for 2 months, as specified ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1172337 ).
It specifies that "When it comes to Sync then things are different: Synced history expires in 60 days (2 months) and synced tabs expire in 7 days and have a maximum payload (20-28 kb: long URLs have effect). ".
However, I could still see the browsing history, 6 months ago, across all of my devices having my Firefox Account logged in.
Just wondering how long exactly the could history could be kept.
Thank you! :-)

Once synced, you may be keeping this history. I've never used Sync to sync history.
There are some constants defined that you can see in the source code.
HISTORY_TTL: 5184000; // 60 days THIRTY_DAYS_IN_MS: 2592000000; // 30 days MAX_HISTORY_UPLOAD: 5000 MAX_HISTORY_DOWNLOAD: 5000
