Sync isn't intended to be used in that manner. The data which is synchronized isn't a temporary view, the data is copied to Firefox on the device - the data doesn't disappear when you disconnect fron a Sync account or close Firefox.

You can have both work and personal Sync accounts thru having two separate Profiles. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

If you are interested in two separate Profiles,let us know and we can guide you when setting up separate desktop shortcuts for opening each Profile.
