I switch browsers often, so I don't run firefox every day to know when this might have happened. Launched firefox today for the first time in a few weeks and noticed one of my bookmark folders was in russian - text translated to "haunted." I had a unique password on my sync account, but at the same time I'm pretty sure I didn't suddenly develop (and then forget) russian. Any other reports?

If you think any account has been hacked, change the password Imminently. In the case of Firefox sync, changing the password will remove all data.

Well, yeah. My real concern is that given this was a password only used for firefox sync, that the service itself was compromised. Browser and password history shows most of the activity was on March 20, with updates as recently as April 25.
