I have signed into my Firefox account on my parents computer in order to see my bookmarks & have saved passwords, etc easily found, signed into & used. Sync is off but after I sign out bookmarks & password still on this computer. I don't want to remove these bookmarks & passwords from my Firefox account on my home desktop or my phone - just from this one computer. Research I found say a Firefox account not for this "function" - but now that I've done it is there NO way to remove it & not have to start from scratch & thus lose all the saved data, extensions, etc.???

If you disconnect from Sync, then Firefox should offer the choice to remove synced data from that device.

Unsure what you mean "disconnect"? I signed out & the stuff is still there though I'm not signed in. Could I just uninstall Firefox & all the data would be deleted off this machine?
