How do I stop Firefox syncing old searches and bookmarks I don't want?

I just got a new computer. On my old computer, I had a lot of search history, saved passwords, bookmarks etc. that I don't want on my new computer. I signed into my account and it synced all of that. I then de-connected my account and refreshed Firefox. But then it automatically syncs them again. How do I stop Firefox from doing this?

You have to delete the old account and create a new one using the same email address. In older versions they had the option to delete Sync data but not in newer versions.

I did do that but it's still syncing the old stuff.

You've already disconnected, right ? Now, delete offline web data, cached web data and user data in the advanced menu in options. Restart Firefox.

Make sure to backup your new bookmarks/passwords, if any.

Go to Options-->Sync-->Manage Account. Enter Email ID and password. Delete account.

Hope this helps.
