I am in the office, in my work, and i disconnect my sync account for the work and i want to connect my personal account but i can't because the syncing information with the first account has not dissapeared and wil be merged with my personal information.

Sync isn't intended to be used in that manner. The data which is synchronized isn't a temporary view, the data is copied to Firefox on the device - the data doesn't disappear when you disconnect fron a Sync account or close Firefox.

You can have both work and personal Sync accounts thru having two separate Profiles. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

If you are interested in two separate Profiles,let us know and we can guide you when setting up separate desktop shortcuts for opening each Profile.
