Hello,

a few weeks ago, I had to synchronize my firefox from the PC of a friend in order to access my bookmarks. His profile was a local one (w/o synchronization). My friend now needs to access several of his own bookmarks and passwords. I wanted to revert to the previous profile but cannot find a way to perform this. Could you please explain me the way to perform this without loosing the information of his profile?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards from Germany,

F. Wegwitz

If you connected to your Sync on that friend's computer then his data is likely uploaded to the server and thus should also be on your computer unless you choose to remove synced data when you disconnected. I don't think that this would affect data on your friend's computer.
