I have sync'd history between my devices and amn haing privacy issues,

I am not allowed to visit some sites whilst at work and find myself in the postion of having to prove which device accessed which url in my firefox history as my partner was using my home pc whilst I was away at work.

I have searched through all the settings I can find in the browser and am hoping there is a site I can visit or addin that will help me in obtaining this information.

In that situation you probably should not be syncing devices. However there are bigger problems outside of the scope of this forum.

You should almost certainly have an Operating System account for work only. You probably need to seek advice from both your HR & IT departments for guidance on policy and use of computers.

If you use a computer at work on the company's internet they know exactly what sites you have connected to, they have no need to look at your Firefox History.

You may turn off History Syncing
