What happens to Sync if I trade up computers and get rid of the original one?

I have Sync'd my wife's laptop and my new laptop, which is replacing my old one. What happens to Sync when I dispose of the old Compaq? Since it is the "original" which the others are Sync'd to, will this do anything to their data? Can I establish one of them as the "base" from which everything is Sync'd?

Thanks for any and all help!! Larry

  1. Disable Sync on the old laptop first, and then delete your Firefox data before getting rid of that old laptop.
  2. The "master" is the Sync server.
  3. All devices connect to the Sync server to share your data, not directly to each other.

Thanks Ed. So, once the computers are Sync'd, the server is the "base", not any one of the separate computers? Larry

Yes, the Sync server is the "base".
