Want to completely DELETE Firefox Sync from computer

I have been a user of Firefox for many years. I set up a Sync account to move a bookmark file to a new laptop.

That was my first mistake. I should have loaded the file on a usb stick and used "sneaker net" to put it on the laptop insure of all the fancy crap.

Sync worked but hasn't worked since. I can log into my account and try to sync, but it just doesn't work.

This crap software is buggy and provides no information as to it's status or whatever. Besides, I don't want the risk of this on my laptop in case it gets stolen.

I want to delete my Sync account completely and remove all reference to sync on my laptop.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very appreciative.

Thank You
