User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/114.0
Firefox for Android
Steps to reproduce:
Open the Main Menu.
Actual results:
The email address used for the Firefox Sync account will be fully visible, with no way of hiding it. This can be bad for privacy, especially when doing screencasts.
Expected results:
There should be a way to hide the email. Why not simply show "Firefox Sync" instead of the email?
This happens in both desktop and mobile versions. Forgot to add that.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Sync' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

(Does seem like this should be using display name on desktop -- which is I think what Fenix is doing.)

We should double-check mobile because the same arguments do apply there.
