Firefox Sync allows you to sync your bookmarks, logins, browsing history, tab settings and other items across various devices. For additional information on how to turn on sync, see How do I set up Sync on my computer?.
If you’d like, you can disable Sync to avoid syncing your data across certain devices when creating or signing into a Firefox Account. You'll remain signed in to your account even after Sync has been disabled unless you decide to sign out. You can also remove devices that have been synced previously.
