I set up sync on my previous laptop and synced with two other PCs some time ago.

A couple of months ago I damaged that laptop and it no longer works. However, the tabs open on that laptop when it broke are still appearing in "Tabs from other devices" on my new laptop and the two other PCs.

How can I stop this from happening?

I know that when going to Options > Sync box it is possible to replace the sync'ed items with the items on the current laptop rather than merge, but I am wary of doing this for all sync'ed info and and can find no advice as to whether I can do this for just the tab info, so as to erase the tabs from the dead laptop.

There is no security issue as I still have the hard drive from the old laptop.

So in summary, how do I get rid of the Tabs from my dead PC without the palaver of having to start over?

Hope you can help.

I have the latest version of Firefox (26.0) on my new laptop and my PC (as indicated in the system details above). Uninstalling will not help.

I can do nothing about the version on my dead laptop, but that is irrelevant.

Sync data is not stored in the registry, and in any event I use CCleaner regularly.

I do not think you have understood my issue. Please re-read it.
