I have a Firefox setup on my Linux Machine with all my information: Bookmarks, theme, etc. However, when I add a new Firefox Profile on my Mac and use the same account I use for Firefox Sync on my Linux, the fresh new configuration on my mac takes over the configuration I had on my Linux. It means my Linux Machine lost all bookmarks, themes, and settings I had previously and became a fresh profile like the one on Mac.

Is that an expected behavior? I expected my Linux configuration set up the Firefox Mac account.
