I don't want end up with all the bookmarks from each PC that I use Firefox on.

If I go to another computer that has Firefox, I don't want the bookmarks, history, etc. from this computer. In other words, absolutely no merging of my stuff with their stuff.

I guess I want my bookmarks etc. to reside in the cloud and I want to experience Firefox on each and every device that I use as if it were my personal device, not a blend of my stuff and their stuff.

Sync isn't meant to be used as a backup device, but merely to sync data between multiple devices. So it is not possible to store your bookmarks in the cloud on the sync server without syncing it to other devices. You would have to exclude the bookmarks and the history from syncing if you still want other personal data to get synced and backup your data locally.

You can do that manually or via an extension like MozBackup or FEBE.

Sync was never intended to allow viewing and use of Sync'd bookmarks from the web on devices that aren't in your possession or under your control.

One alternative is to export your bookmarks in HTML format to a USB Flash Drive. Then you can plug that drive into other PC's and use File > Open File ... to open that bookmarks.html file in any browser to view it like a webpage.

Or you can use Firefox Portable on a USB Flash Drive on any Windows device. http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
