I loaded Firefox on my new computer and created a new email account and user for windows and Firefox. Some how my Firefox history on my new computer contains history from my old computer and old Firefox account. The only user in common is my school email account, but this should not have anything to do with Firefox. I do not see how this is possible.

Thanks,

John

This did not solve the problem. The accounts are not synced. It was a good thing to check and thank you. This is why I cannot figure this out, the accounts are not synced.
