I want to reduce the Firefox data footprint on my device

Firefox za Android Synchronizaciska konfiguracija

I see that the sync feature has caused my device to save 37,841 web pages from across all my synced devices, taking up 1.38 GB of precious memory. I have unchecked the sync browsing history checkbox in settings. I have gone to accounts and sync on my device settings, and all I see is other accounts, with no option to see or add Firefox, so that I can use the switching feature in my device settings to unsync Firefox from this device. What I want to know is, if I clear browsing data on this device, will it clear the browsing data from all my logged in devices? Or will I be okay, since I unchecked the browsing history checkbox in the Firefox settings for sync?

Since you disabled sync for history, clearing history should not clear it on your other devices. But if you want to be sure: temporarily log out from your firefox account, clear history, and then log back in (making sure not to enable back history sync)
