I no longer have the PC which I setup with Firefox Sync as the "Main Computer".

I would like to assign a different PC as the "Main Computer" to which other computers/devices are paired as per the Help page How to sync Firefox settings between computers

How may I assign a different PC as the "Main Computer" for my existing account?

In Firefox Sync there's no such thing as "Main computer". All your devices are in Sync and send their information to the rest of the devices.

Is the computer that you want to use a "main computer" already in sync? If not you will need to follow the steps explained in the following article: link text
