editing bookmarks and passwords
If I have edited the passwords file and bookmarks file and saved them to a folder via export feature. When I import the edited file into firefox how can I make that the master file and not have the other instances of firefox sync all the old data back to the master one I edited? For instance I have FF on android, linux and windows, if I import the edited file to the windows instance what is to stop the linux from syncing back to the windows machine? I have had this happen previously where a newer instance of firefox overwrote the bookmarks and password files. Will I have to delete all bookmarks and passwords and import them from the new edited file on each device?

Hey there! Two things I need to make clear: 1. There is no such thing as a "master device" and no way to make one device override others. 2. There is no unidirectional synchronizing, meaning that every change you make on any of your synchronized devices is made on all the others as well.
So what now? - You can delete everything you ever synchronized and then import the file you intended to be the "master file" to let it synchronize. - You can delete everything you don't want to synchronize and add your desired synchronization data on any device.
Did that help?

thanks for clearing that up. Especially number 1. My misunderstanding about that, so any change made to one computer propagates to the other computers(browsers). I got things sorted out by editing from FF, importing didn't seem to work I just got more bookmarks and pw's that were duplicated.
thank you for the clarification.
