Hi All,

Is there a way to prevent the home pages from syncing? I need my work computer to load the work homepages by default.

Thanks, 7huan

There are services.sync.prefs.sync<pref-name> prefs with a value true for each pref that is by default included in syncing preferences. You can set the corresponding services.sync.prefs.sync.<pref-name> pref to false to prevent syncing this pref.

  • you can set the services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.startup.homepage pref to false on the about:config page to prevent syncing the home page setting
  • prefs that have a corresponding services.sync.prefs.sync.<pref-name> pref that is set to true will be synced to other devices
  • prefs that have a corresponding services.sync.prefs.sync.<pref-name> pref that is set to false will be excluded from syncing
  • if you want to sync prefs that are currently not included then create a corresponding Boolean sync pref and set its value to true
    • services.sync.prefs.sync.<pref-name> (omit the <>)

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
