I tried using Firefox on a new device, I wanted to sync with my previous settings to just restore them, I was unable to remember the password at that time so I reset it, after resetting it it still didn't work and different problems came up so I tried fixing it in a different way. Long story short im unable to connect my current profile (which I used previously with that email) with that account, so im also unable to start any ways of syncing as only this message appears

"This profile was previously synced to a different account

To keep your data organized and secure, each Firefox profile can only be synced to one account. To sign in using email, create a new profile."

Right now im just using a backup which basically restores the profile, but if im doing something on one device it shouldnt sync to the other one, whats the best way of fixing it, is there a way of desyncing the profile with the mozilla account or start a fresh profile but slightly alter some values so I can use this one?

Kind Regards
