I have two profiles set up: "default" and "restricted". I'm logged into my Firefox account in both and both have all Sync options checked.

If I move to another computer and create a "restricted" profile using the Profile Manager and then login with my Firefox account, will my settings from the original "restricted" profile sync to the new one?

[EDIT] Never mind: I now don't think Sync recognizes profiles at all.

Sync is about a Firefox Account and not about a specific profile. If both "default" and "restricted" are connected to the same Sync account then they have the same data when it comes to data that is part of Sync. If you connect another device to this same Firefox account then it gets the same data from Sync. There is no master or slave device, all connected devices are equal and data from all connected devices is uploaded to the Sync server and downloaded to other connected devices. The only way to keep data separated is by using different Sync accounts.
