HI, no idea what you are implying. As there is never a need to sign into a Firefox Account. What account are you talking about ? Revert back to their bookmarks ?
If this is Sync you speaking of you should never have signed into from a system that is not your own.
Their Bookmarks are no lost unless they can recover it from a phone or system that they were Sync'd to.
If they were using Sync as a backup then it is lost as that is not what Sync is for. It is for syncing (plural) multiple devices.
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

On a freind's Firefox browser A: I signed into my account, thinking all my tabs and history would be there> B: All appeared. C: How can i go back to the original Firefox browser as it was before my sign in? D: Friend does not have a Firefox account: E: Or is all their tabs and history gone?
All their stuff is gone if it is not there and yours is.
Sync is for Syncing devices and not for what you did. Was a nice try. Hope your friends have backups as yes it is all gone and is yours now.. For your info if you had done this :
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/export-firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transfer
Then would have been able to possibly restore them to what they were before.
Good luck explaining this.
If you friends have phones with Firefox or another computer or a tablet they can get a account then sync to something near the same.
Hi, unsync the system or will go home and sync and resync theirs again with your stuff. As when you synced you got a token form the servers. As to what this token is called or where it is dumped I have no idea.

No, they can use the Time Machine to restore their data to before you connected to your Sync account.
If that is setup typically the "Times" are in 24 hour increments; IOW, a daily "backup".
