Disable Firefox Account / Sync

09 Jul 2019 - Help improve this post

Firefox has a feature where they want you to register for. It’s Firefox Account. Sometimes called Firefox Sync. It’s something I don’t like to do, it’s a browser and it doesn’t need to know who I am. That’s why I disabled the Firefox Account feature including the button and tab in settings.

Here is how:

1. Open about:config and search for identity.fxaccounts.enabled or copy paste the following url into your address bar: about:config?filter=identity.fxaccounts.enabled
2. Double click to toggle to false
3. Restart Firefox
