One Sync Account - Want a different Theme for Release and Developer Edition
I'm recently returning to Firefox after using Chrome for quite some time. I wish to use the regular release for my daily browsing and the developer edition for my dev work.
I use one sync account and for the most part I want to have all the same settings across the board. I do however want the regular release to use 'Compact Light' theme and the developer edition to use 'Compact Dark' theme. Currently, the sync seems to apply the last used add-on theme for whichever browser I'm using. Sometimes it seems to work though but maybe the sync hadn't been applied yet.
I usually run both browsers side by side so I want to be able to distinguish them easier. Is there a setting in the config file that I can update to not sync the theme preference?
Thanks!

For add-on themes (lightweight themes, not full themes), these preferences in about:config look relevant but I haven't experimented:
- services.sync.prefs.sync.lightweightThemes.selectedThemeID (default: true -- try false?)
- services.sync.prefs.sync.lightweightThemes.usedThemes (default: true)
I don't know whether these apply to any bundled/built-in themes.

Hmm let me try that. Setting it to false should force it to not sync and hopefully not change themes between browsers and devices.
That seems to have done it. Thank you!
