I have two profiles, one for work and one for my personal in the same account. I need to sync both of my profiles but do not want the information in the two profiles mixed together. I need to sync the information as I have a desktop and a laptop that I use for work, and mobile devices and another laptop for personal matters. If I am on work travel and need to access my personal profile on my laptop (because schlepping two machines is silly!), I want to switch my profile to the personal one. then when I am done I want to switch back to the work profile. How can I do this and is firefox set up to do this?

After copying profile that's already synced to my old account, I'm unable to set sync that copied profile to new mozilla account. According to support page, it should sync just fine by using different mozilla account. From what I noticed, this new copy profiles feature doesn't make a new profile in about:profiles, could this be an issue?

Product: Firefox for Windows

Hello,

I am returning to Firefox after many years and have recently reinstalled the browser. I logged into my old Firefox Account, but it immediately started syncing my old data (passwords, bookmarks, extensions) from years ago, which I no longer want.

Here is my dilemma:

I cannot simply turn off Sync. I want to use Sync for my new data (new passwords and bookmarks) moving forward, so keeping Sync enabled is necessary.

I cannot find an option to manually delete old data on the Mozilla account website. The "Delete Synced Data" option mentioned in some older guides does not seem to appear on my current account management page.

Is there a way to completely wipe the historical Sync data from the Mozilla servers so I can start fresh with a clean cloud, while still keeping the Sync feature active for my future data?

Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
