I read a similar question about being able to use Firefox if there is no secondary device, but all the answer said is I am glad your issue was resolved. WHAT kind of answer is that? How was it resolved? My issue is that I put Firefox on my computer. Now Firefox keeps asking me about cell phone numbers and other devices saying I need to use more than my computer. I don't have a cell phone. I have a land line in my house, but all I can do is talk on it as it does not have email or text capability. I don't have a pager since I retired 20 years ago. I don't have a laptop or iPad and don't need such nonsense. Am I still able to use Firefox on my computer or should I remove it?

You do not need to create a Firefox account in order to use Firefox on a single device.

If you are talking about sync, sync is an option. Shut down sync from here.
