Duplicated accounts

Hello,

Since september I'm working in a new place where I can't save anything in C: as everything is erased when closing session. Therefore I need to reconnect to my firefox account anytime I open a new session which led to many many duplicated accounts. When in https://accounts.firefox.com/, I just can't delete this account.

Since then it had become very difficult to send a tab to another device connected to my firefox account.

Is there anything I can do about it?

Matthieu.

May I recommend; http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition

https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox-portable-esr Mozilla Firefox ESR, Portable Edition

A fully functional package of Firefox optimized for use on a USB key drive. A specialized launcher will allow most favorite extensions to work as you switch computers.

Firefox Portable is a 3rd-party build. Support is available here: http://portableapps.com/forums/support/firefox_portable

You can use sync to share passwords, bookmarks, and history. Anything else may not be compatible between different browser versions or computer systems.


As to the sync accounts, I would recommend you remove all of them. Then create a new one using the Firefox that has your data.
