Should I combine my 2 Firefox accounts?

I have 2 Firefox accounts simply by accident. I've had a long standing one on my computer and then when I got my Android phone I accidentally created another. I tend to use the first account on my own personal computer but use the second account on my family computer, phone etc. I had hoped I would be able to sync the two accounts ergo having all of the passwords together and all of the bookmarks but that doesn't seem to be the case. If I try to log on a different account I get a warning from Firefox asking if I really want to log on with the different account. Can someone please help me with what the cautions are about and how to blend account this possible? Thanks

Hi InnovativeRN , It is just warning you that you are going to sync the local data with all the other data from the other account. This has caused some issues for people. If you are worried create a back up of the profile.
