My newer PC includes all my desired bookmarks and logins/passwords.
My older PC has old and unneeded bookmarks and logins/passwords.
Can I sync the 2 PCs without including the older PCs unneeded bookmarks and logins/passwords?

Re: Sync question between my new and old PC's info
Hi,
This should work...
Re-name (Always the best option at first), the old, unwanted info. & just copy the needed files.
ref; > http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_ ... ew_profile
Scroll down to see what files are not/required...
Leave the old version around, as you may need parts of it, later.

To rename, I would have to search and rename hundreds of files.
Could I delete all the bookmarks and login/passwords from the older PC and then sync it with the newer PC to get identical info on both?

Bookmarks are stored in just one file (places.sqlite) and passwords are stored in one file (logins.json) with a second file (key4.db) containing the encryption key for them. To what "hundreds of files" are you referring?

Did you scroll down the KB article to see which ones to delete or re-name?
You should only have a couple.
> Passwords: (Both of these files must be copied)
> Folders..
> bookmarkbackups - Contains dated bookmark backup files:
> bookmarks-(date).json
