Hello,

I signed into mozilla firefox on my father's computer at his home. I was visiting for the week and forgot my laptop. I logged his firefox account, then signed in with my details. Now I am seeing all of my father's login credentials when I am logged in to my firefox account at my home. I am not sure how it happened but I would like to not see my father's credentials for every website. Thank you.

This is something one doesn't do use another computer and those data will wipe your previous data on all other synced devices. So unless you can find your jason4 backup on your own computer his data will now replace all your synced device data. What you should've done was create your own user account and that will prevent the wrong sync data from wiping the other account data sync information.

What you need to do is remove all synced device so the backup can be found and restored. If you don't do this any chance to find or restore is lost the more sync you leave your computer with the login.
