Is your Firefox for Android currently connected to a Firefox Sync account? If so, you should find a Firefox account in your Android accounts list, and you can remove it. Please see the last section of this article: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync#w_remove-an-android-device-from-firefox-sync

I'm not sure whether this is one of the settings that is part of your Google account, but if you are not sure how secure your Google account is, you definitely should change that password and/or check Google's suggestions on next steps.
