How do I get websites I visit on Firefox to not show up on my Chromebook?

I use Firefox almost exclusively on one pc. And I have a Chromebook. My Firefox settings are requested not to track, not remember history, etc. Whenever I sign in to an account, I log out as soon as I'm done. I've noticed when I use my Chromebook that certain information that was originally collected on Firefox will appear in the Chromebook. It happened most recently with iheartradio, where I visited for the first time. I clicked on a station. And later that day I disconnected from that pc, and switched to the Chromebook. And there was that station I clicked now showing on the Chromebook. I haven't even created an account with them (iheartradio). If you know, I'd appreciate how to unlink the computers from communicating.

Are you using any kind of sync between them?

No. I poked around the Chromebook settings and history. I saw a link that took me to some additional Flash settings (the link was external - to Macromedia). And I did see the iheartradio cookie (or whatever it's called now) in their history. I deleted that history and set additional security and history settings there. But what disturbs me is visiting a Flash site using Firefox, even though Firefox has disabled the Flash player, the script records my information. And getting back to the sync issue, I have never established any settings to let the pc and Chromebook share my info.
