Add a box you can uncheck on the 'Manage extension' page next to each addon/theme to disable them from syncing with other browsers on your account.

 

This would be useful in at least two places:

  • Setting different themes in nightly so is visually obvious which Firefox is open (I daliy normal FF but use nightly for testing code)
  • Only have performance add-ons were needed (eg h264ify on my old pc but not my new laptop)

Seriously Firefox devs, PLEASE add this, the lack of it is a problem for me every day, and when I switch computers I need to manually toggle about 5 things off and on just to do work (and by work I mean the all-important pastime of video watch).

Workaround
If youre looking for: Disable sync theme across Programs or PCs inside about:config:

Set to false:

  • services.sync.prefs.sync-seen.extensions.activeThemeID
  • services.sync.prefs.sync-seen.services.sync.prefs.sync.extensions.activeThemeID
  • services.sync.prefs.sync.extensions.activeThemeID

Set to true:

  • services.sync.addons.ignoreUserEnabledChanges

 

It may only work with the last one because some of the settings seem to be discontinued. I didnt want to try all cases so i disabled all of them.
