Help to un-sync the passwords from my desktop to my laptop

I have Firefox on my desktop and my laptop (and my phone). I just spent hours on the laptop updating new passwords, deleting duplicates and entries that were not relevant. Went from over 500 to 471 entries. Feeling good! Today I did work on the desktop and noticed the desktop password list had not sync'd to the laptop, and had 493 entries, all of which had the old/original passwords. Feeling a little suspicious about that the account had not sync'd. I had to log into and reset the password for my business email (which I had not changed the password for previously). When I updated that in the password list on my desktop, I had a moment of dread thinking that might be a problem, having updated each different computer's password list without a proper sync. Well, I went right down to my laptop and my worst fear was confirmed. All the updating I had done the prior week was overwritten by the desktop (old) password list. All of the old duplicate entries and irrelevant accounts are back.

Apparently the sync only is working in one direction??? Is there a solution to this please????
