Dear Firefox,

I am a college student working in an office. I have a work computer, and a home computer and would like for my browsing history, bookmarks, and customization to remain separate between the two computers. It appears that Firefox's profiles is intended to do this, but it keeps freaking out on me. On my home computer I have a default profile called Connor Home with its own settings, and on my work computer I have a default profile called Connor Work with its own settings. However, it appears that whenever I use Firefox on my work computer, it overwrites all the settings from my Connor Work profile onto my Connor Home profile, as when I return home, all of my home settings and bookmarks have been replaced with my work settings and bookmarks. Upon checking, I see that I am still in my Connor Home on my home computer, and I am still in Connor Work on my work computer. Why does changing the settings in one of my profiles seem to overwrite my other profile? Please help.

This is what sync does it sync from one to the other and if you don't want them to sync then you need separate firefox accounts so they won't sync. You either sync both or sync neither. What is seems is just a naming only and sync will not keep it separate but replace them instead when using the same firefox sync account.
