I do have an account to my passwords, history and so on simplify my work with Firefox. I did logon to firefox with a new instance on an Apple computer of a friend with my account. After my session, I did close this account again. Now I found out, that I got all his usernames and passwords. Does he have mine as well?

Hi Martin, you have experienced the magic of Sync merging the data of two different Firefox installations. Unfortunately, there isn't any automated way to detangle the data; I think you will both need to clean it up manually. Since the other computer is no longer connected to your Mozilla account, at least your updates/changes will be private.

Or maybe someone else will know of a way.
