The laptop is NOT signed into my firefox account and my main pc is but has bookmarks sync turned off. I can deleted a bookmark on the laptop and within seconds its gone from my pc. This has only started since yesterday.

Hi, please check these :

There are Tokens dropped on each system to talk to the servers, if it is cleaned out by ccleaner then need to try and get Laptop signed back in.

If running some s ecurity software like Avast / AVG, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connections and send their own certificate. This could cause Issues.

Also Issues could be if Firewall rules have not been set up properly.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
