can I "unsync" my 2 computers without losing the bookmarks I wanted to access from the 2nd one. I am giving this computer away and just wanted my bookmarks, but can't see how to "unsync" without losing them, as it states that I will be resetting them. hep!

Chosen solution

Yes, you can disconnect one of the computers without losing the bookmarks on either computer.

On the computer you want to unsync (probably the one you're giving away), go to the Sync options (for me it's Edit -> Preferences, but could also be under Tools -> Options), go to the Sync page, and click the "Deactivate This Device" link.

Deactivating one device should not change anything on the other device.
