How can I erase my saved passwords from one pc, but not from my firefox account?
I need to return a mac computer to my old company, and it got all my firefox saved passwords on it. I want to remove them, but still keep my passwords on my private pc firefox, which is connected with the same firefox account.
thank you

If you are using sync, shut it down.
Open Firefox on the work computer.
Type about:support in the address bar and press enter.
Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Folder. To it’s right, press the button Show Folder. This will open your file browser to the current Firefox profile. Now Close Firefox.
Delete this folder, and everything will be gone. Leaving Firefox for the new user.

You can't remove data that is stored on anther computer remotely and that was possibly added via Sync. You can only do that if you have physical access to that computer.
If you can't access that computer any longer then you will have change all passwords.
