Hi,

Linked Firefox Sync accounts that are no longer in use--or useable--still appear in the synced tabs drawer in Firefox for Android as different groups of tabs under corresponding device names.

This is despite trying to fix the issue by changing the account password from one device (PC) I still use and deleting my account/setting it up on Firefox for Android again with the new password.

It seems Firefox for Android (or the Firefox Sync system generally) syncs tabs from offline devices linked to the same email address, despite them not being set-up using the same password.

Whether this is by design, something not anticipated or just a bug, it makes it very tedious to scroll through the list of tabs from unwanted "devices" (actually, previous Firefox installations on my current PC, wiped along with entire drive during system reinstall) in order to find tabs directly under the device name corresponding to the current Firefox installation on my PC.

I'm prepared to delete the entire account and de-associate all my devices at once, and start fresh, but that doesn't seem to be an option.

Hi sqph, Thank you for your question, I understand that there is an issue with synced tabs on devices that no longer should be attached to the sync account.

Unfortunately there currently is no way to mange individual sync profiles fro specific devices. The device will be detached if another user tries to connect the old device to the attached account because the cookie will expire. However the data that has synced will still show up on other devices.

A fresh start is possible, I am currently asking if this is expected.
