I installed Firefox on my new computer. It imported setting from Chrome. That's not what I wanted at all. Now, I can't get rid of that information that was imported because it synced. How do I get rid of this data permanently? I have Firefox on my old computer but I don't want to connect online for fear it will sync and contaminate my other Firefox installations. How do I clean out my online profile?

You can create a new profile on about:profiles page, that won't be synced.
