I do not wish to load onto another device but it appears my syncing does not work if I do not. How do I uninstall? I do not use apps or other mobile devices.
I do not wish to 'play ball' and sync other devices or apps. I do not use other devices or apps. I will have to uninstall Firefox if this is a requirement.
I did install on my office computer and did not encounter this issue nor lose my bookmarks as I have with the home install.

HI, sorry Sync is not for single use but for syncing devices. This is not what Sync is designed to do. The Firefox Sync service takes a copy of the data you wish to include and transfers it to a second device (typically a mobile device such as a tablet or a telephone) running a copy of Firefox. The storage in between all attached devices is both temporary and fragile and is not stable enough to be (and is not designed as) a reliable backup service.
If you have a copy of your Firefox profile for desktop Firefox, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and other data or create backs so you can recover. Please have a read of these article.
