Is it possible to sync only bookmarks from one device, for example, and all other stuff between another two devices?

Hello.

I have 3 devices. 2 of them are at work, so I don't want to sync such things as extensions (xnotifier for instance, it's syncing my accs), passwords from my home PC with these two devices. But I want to sync my bookmarks and other stuff. Is it possible to separate sync settings between different devices?

Thanks.

You may have to use two separate Sync accounts if it isn't possible with one account. As you can't use both accounts at the same time on a device you will have to disconnect the computer that is the main device and (temporarily) connect to the other account to sync only the bookmarks to the other Sync account.

Have you tried on the device that you only want the sync the bookmarks to to only check the "Bookmarks" option in the options of what to sync? Options are Firefox>Sync

Have a great day!!

Hi Jon.

Yes, I have tried this option. But if I check this option on one device this setting is synced between all my devices.

For example,

work1 - first work device work2 - second work device home - home PC

On "home" and "work1" devices I have set all options to sync (bookmarks, history etc). Then I connect to "work2" device where I've set only bookmarks to sync and force it to sync. After sync completed my sync settings are the same as on "home" and "work1" device. And vice versa if I change sync settings on "work2" device they are synced to all other devices.

Hi, cor-el.

Not an obvious option. But ok, I'll try, thank you.
