I have three pages set up for home on my desktop but only want two of those pages on my laptop. This use to be the way it was. But I got a new computer and it will sync all three pages to both computers.

Chosen solution

The homepages are set via this pref:

  • browser.startup.homepage

There is a corresponding services.sync.prefs.sync pref that determines whether to include this pref in syncing preferences.You can set this pref to false to exclude syncing the homepage.

  • services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.startup.homepage = false

Maybe also exclude this pref that sets the startup behavior:

  • services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.startup.page = false
