I use Firefox on my Apple Laptop (OS Catalina) and am using the latest Firefox version (76.0.1) to browse the net via my wifi. On my Iphone8 I use Safari and the phone is connected to wifi. I have never even installed Firefox fo my phone. Strangely my Iphone keeps connecting to my laptop's Firefox (see screenshot Icon) and keeps slowing down my internet connection on my Laptop.

I have never signed up for Firefox Sync and don't knwo why my phone keeps dialling in with my laptop. My phone and Laptop are not even really connected on any apple level apart from Icloud.

Does anyone know what kind of settings I could use to stop that from reocurring? Maybe it is an apple thing and I am wrong in this support forum, but I thought I'd try. Thank you!
