I'm a substitute teacher that goes to a different school everyday. My account has bookmarks and logins saved for various education and school district sites.

I want to be able to sync my browser at a school then unsync at the end of the day and be able to leave the browser how it was before I synced in the morning.

Currently, when I unsync, the browser keeps EVERYTHING. I have to manually delete all my information.

Is there a way for Firefox to do what I want? Chrome has that ability, but I prefer the Mozilla browser.

Thanks.

Hi

Firefox for Android and Chrome sync service operate very differently.

Firefox Sync is designed to help you sync bookmarks between two or more copies of Firefox.

The Google account service provided an online backup of bookmarks and account information.
