Hello

I'm confused about syncronization

My desktop is my main computer and I want to syncronize its set up to my laptop.

But how will Firefox know this?

Or to put it another way, how to you tell Firefox to syncronize the desktop to the laptop and not the reverse?

Thanks

You can't define the direction of the synchronization.

The data from each connected device is uploaded to the Sync server and merged to all other connected devices, so they all have the same data.

If you want to only transfer specific data to another computer then you need to do this manually by copying files to an USB stick.
