Hi Support,

I have always been struggling with the idea of syncing two devices, that is main and secondary devices, and that when logged out of the secondary device, user details such as passwords, booksmarks and other important things are left bare on that browser or secondary device.

It is my believe that, after completing whatever task that led users to sync both devices, the moment the user logs out on the secondary computer, or any of the computers, the passwords, bookmarks, history and other essential details should not display again on such computer or browser anymore but apparently thats not the case with Mozilla Firefox browser.

Kindly look into that and work on it....THE SECURITY AND SAFETY OF THE USER IS LEFT WIDE OPEN!!!

You don't have this option to Delete data from this device (logins, passwords, history, bookmarks, etc.) on logout?

Note that you shouldn't connect to Sync on a device that isn't yours.

I know that but the device is for a friend. My laptop suffered a bluescreen problem and I had to fix it so I was using a friend's device for the meantime. Now I have fixed my own device and the I have logged out of the friend's device completely but my bookmarks, password and other essential information aren't gone along with the logging out function. I hope you understand now?

The best way would be to create a new local Windows user account. If you want to share the same Windows account, you can keep Mozilla accounts separate by creating a new profile and deleting it when you are done.
