I have registered in Firefox in my Personal Laptop. In that it remains signed in and have stored personal logins, passwords and Personal Bookmarks. In my OFFICE Laptop, I had signed once in Firefox to get a login. After that, I had signed out from the Firefox in Office Laptop. But, obviously, Firefox had synced entire Personal data in this Laptop also. I don't want my personal Firefox data to be available in the local memory/hard disk of my Office Laptop after I have signed out from the Firefox. How to find these data and Delete/Remove them from the Personal Laptop.

Thanks.

Thank you for your question about the Firefox Sync service.

It appears from your question, that you are using Firefox Sync as a back up service. This is not what Sync is designed to do. The Firefox Sync service takes a copy of the data you wish to include and transfers it to a second device (typically a mobile device such as a tablet or a telephone) running a copy of Firefox. The storage in between all attached devices is both temporary and fragile and is not stable enough to be (and is not designed as) a reliable backup service.

If you have a copy of your Firefox profile for desktop Firefox, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and other data. Please have a read of this article.

If you have a copy of your data on a mobile version of Firefox, please follow these instructions to connect it to Firefox Sync to copy your data. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-sync-my-computer#w_connect-additional-devices-to-sync_
