What happens when you merge multiple firefox profiles under one sync account?

Before I begin, apologies in advance if this was answered many times already.

I have a situation where I have two work computers and a personal computer. For a while, I used a cloud storage solution to sync a single profile folder across my devices, but something messed up at some point, so I have not been doing that for a few years. Now I have three different profile data (specifically logins and bookmarks) that overlaps on some areas, but are different in others. I would like to merge them all without losing any data, but I don't want to just blindly create a mess.

So what happens when I log into same Firefox account across these devices? What would happen if I have different logins stored for the same page? or if some of the bookmarks are organized differently?

When you sync your devices, all bookmarks will appear at all devices. You can avoid having some bookmarks twice by deleting the ones which are more than once on one device before. When you have more than one login for one page, you will be able to choose one everytime you want to login.
