I am trying to log out of my current sync account and log into another. This must include all bookmarks, as I do not want to merge the two accounts. The other account has vital resources and bookmarks. The two must be kept separate. Cannot understand why this is such a chore. It should be a simple matter surely - log out of one account, log into another. (Sorry, but am very frustrated)

If the two need to be entirely separate then you will have to use separate profiles, because once you connect a profile to Sync then you upload this profile data to Sync and merge this profile with data stored on the Sync server.

You can use the about:profiles page to create a new profile and switch to another profile. You can open "about:" pages via the location/address bar
