I use firefox as my main browser on both my home and work PC. I would like to be able to logoff sync on my work account, then log into my personal account (check e-mails, facebook, whatever); however I really do not want them to be merged. Whenever I attempt this, firefox wants to merge together all of the bookmarks, passwords, history, etc. from both accounts. How can I keep these separated?

hi, in this case you'd probably have to set-up different firefox profiles for work & personal, connect them to their respective sync account and switch back and forth between them: Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles
