I have just uninstalled and then installed Firefox again but still all my Bookmarks, History and Passwords are showing in the browser though I haven't synced after installing Firefox again. I don't want these to be shown on my work-station computer.

Turn off sync. Or remove bookmarks and history from it.

Un-installing Firefox doesn't remove the Profile folder, which is where that data is stored. When Firefox is re-installed it will "see" and use the same Profile.

The easiest way to solve that is to create a new Profile, devoid of any user data. But that's not exactly what I would call "easy".
