my main computer is going to be the one that generates the change to book marks and tabs. when I first set up sync I used a secondary computer not realizing it would be the main computer. how can i change the status of the computers. now that all of my data has merged I need to clean it up and maintain it for the new main computer. Thank you Miles

Chosen solution

Check the Sync options when you have used Sync before and want to keep previously stored data on the Sync server.

  • click the "Sync Options" button at the bottom to select what to sync (Sync Options only affect the first sync)

Select this choice if you want to restore data from the Sync server:

  • "Replace all data on this device with my Sync data"

If your secondary system don't want to SYNC. then try the following method to stop SYNC

Type about:config in URL and search for services.sync.prefs.sync. and set the value as "fasle".

Once Sync has been set up on all computers there is no "main computer", it's just a matter of what you have elected to synchronize on each computer.
